    Undergrad Gravitational Potential Energy deltaEg=(GMm/r1)-(GMm/r2)

    Im not talking about eg=mgh.. I am talking about deltaEg=(GMm/r1)-(GMm/r2) My question is how is it possible to say that in General , Eg=(-GMm/r) and why does Eg not equal 0 when r -> infinity Thanks please reply quickly :)
