Question

Is there any difference between gravitational force and gravitational energy? What is it?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Let's discuss this on a example with a tree and a apple.
Gravitational force is an attractive force that apperas between any two masses. Gravitational force is a force which means that it changes the motion of an object. Force affects an object/a mass.

Formula for gravitational force:`F= m* g`

Gravitational potential energy is the amount of energy a mass [apple] possesses due to its positions in the gravitational field. Energy is something that mass possesses.

Formula: `E_[gp] = mgh`

The apple that falls from the tree is affected by the gravitational force and the apple possesses gravitational energy.
