Force of Gravity and Gravitational Potential Energy Functions from Zero to Infinity (but not beyond)

The video tutorial explores Newton's universal law of gravitation, focusing on the equations for gravitational force and potential energy. It discusses graphing these forces both outside and inside a planet, assuming constant density and non-rotation. The tutorial explains the derivation of equations, including Newton's shell theorem, and analyzes the graphs of gravitational force and potential energy, highlighting their relationships and differences.
