A person brings a mass of 1 kg from infinity to a point A. Initially , the mass was at rest but it moves at a speed of 3 m/s as it reaches A. The work done by the person on the mass is -5.5J.The gravitational potential at A is ----------------------

at infinity , V(potential) = 0
at point A , V = Va
workdone by gravitational force = mdV = m(Va-0) = mVa
