Is gravity an energy?

[SOLVED] Is gravity an energy?

Just a thought inspired by a friend,

Is gravity an energy or an out come of an energy or alternative is energy an outcome of gravity.

What do they say in theories and what do you think personally?

What precisely do you mean by "gravity"? Gravitational FORCE is a natural force between two objects and force and energy are two different things. Of course, when you move a mass against a force, you have to do work and so give it a potential energy. That potential energy could be "released", for example by dropping the object after moving it to a height, which would then increase the kinetic energy of the object.

If I understand your question correctly, potential energy (and then kinetic energy) is an outcome of gravitational force.

This might help you ...

Look, I just posted this thread about the constant of graviation, this might help you to understand.

gravity is a phenemenon.

the effects of this phenomenon include energy being imparted to bodies, and force being exerted on bodies.
