When an object is brought from infinity to a distance $r$ from a mass,its gravitational potential energy ....... . (Fill in the blank)

The gravitational potential energy of a body of mass $m$ at a distance $r$ from the center of the Earth is $U$. Express the weight of the body at this point in terms of $U$.

In a certain region of space,the gravitational field is given by $E = -k/r$,where $r$ is the distance and $k$ is a constant. If the gravitational potential at $r = r_0$ is $V_0$,then what is the expression for the gravitational potential $V$?

The gravitational potential energy of a system of three masses $m$,$2m$,and $3m$ placed at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle of side '$a$' is:

$A$ person brings a mass of $1 \ kg$ from infinity to a point $A.$ Initially,the mass was at rest but it moves at a speed of $3 \ m/s$ as it reaches $A.$ The work done by the person on the mass is $-5.5 \ J.$ The gravitational potential at $A$ is $:$ (in $J/kg$)
