U_{G} = \frac{G \cdot m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{s}

$U_G = (G* m_1 * m_2 ) / "s"$

(m_{1}) Mass 1

$(m_1)"Mass 1"$

(m_{2}) Mass 2

$(m_2)"Mass 2"$

(s) Separation Distance

$(s)"Separation Distance"$

Notes

This equation can be applied to the situation where we are deriving the potential energy in a more complex system and the potential energy resulting from gravitational attraction of our masses in this equation, $m_{1}, and m_{2}$ $m_1, and m_2$ , represents the potential energy of gravitational attraction between component elements of the more complex system.
