Answer:
The gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released is
U = -[(G)(MA)(MB)/x₁]
where G = Gravitational constant
G = (6.7 × 10⁻¹¹) Nm²/kg²
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of two masses (m and M), separated by a distance, d, is given as
U = -(GMm/d)
For our question,
Mass of object 1 = MA
Mass of object 2 = MB
Distance between them = x₁
U = -[(G)(MA)(MB)/x₁]
where G = Gravitational constant
G = (6.7 × 10⁻¹¹) Nm²/kg²
Hope this Helps!!!
