If the reference point of zero gravitational potential energy is chosen such that \( W(r \to \infty) = 0 \), the gravitational potential energy of a two-particle system with masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by distance \( r \) is:

  1. \( \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \)
  2. \( -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \)
  3. \( -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \)
  4. \( \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \)

Correct answer · Option 2

\( -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \)

Explanation

By setting \( V=0 \) at \( r \to \infty \), the potential energy of two masses separated by distance \( r \) is uniquely given by \( V = -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \).
