Gravitational energy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gravitational energy Gravitational energy is potential energy associated with the gravitational field. This phrase is found frequently in scientific writings about quasars (quasi-stellar objects) and other active galaxies. Quasars generate and emit their energy from a very small region. The emission of large amounts of power from a small region requires a power source far more efficient than the nuclear fusion that powers stars. The release of gravitational energy by matter falling towards a massive black hole is the only process known that can produce such high power continuously. Stellar explosions – supernovas and gamma-ray bursts can do so, but only for a few weeks.〔 == Newtonian mechanics ==
According to classical mechanics, between two or more masses (or other forms of energy–momentum) a gravitational potential energy exists. Conservation of energy requires that this gravitational field energy is always negative.〔Alan Guth'' The Inflationary Universe: The Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins'' (1997), Random House , ISBN 0-224-04448-6 Appendix A: ''Gravitational Energy'' demonstrates the negativity of gravitational energy.〕 Particularly, between any two point masses and (this works for the spherical bodies also), there always exists a gravitational force of where r is the distance between their centers. Increasing the distance from to reduces the force, but, since forces in Newton mechanics indicate how much potential energy is lost over space, , this separation requires of energy. Performing positive work equal to E units of energy, we can recede objects from ''r''0 to ''r''1 special units apart. By performing positive work equal to , the second term vanishes and objects are infinitely separated (). Because gravitational force stops pulling objects together at that distance, is known as gravitational binding energy, which is infinite at since the gravitational force is infinite there.
