Question

Is gravitational potential a vector?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Gravitational potential is a scalar quantity whose value is negative rather than a vector number.
2. To determine the value we must divide the gravitational potential energy by the mass.
3. $\raisebox{1ex}{$J$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$Kg$}\right.$ is the SI unit of mass.

Hence, the gravitational potential is not a vector.
