Q. The gravitational potential energy of a two-particle system is derived in this chapter as

U = \frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r}

. Does it follow from this equation that the potential energy for

r = \infty

must be zero? Can we choose the potential energy for

r = \infty

to be 20 J and still use this formula? If no, what formula should be used to calculate the gravitational potential energy at separation r?
