The gravitational field in a region is given by \(\mathbf{E}=(5 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+12 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{Nkg}^{-1}\). If a particle of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) is moved from the origin to the point \((12 \mathrm{~m}\), \(15 \mathrm{~m}\) ) in this region, the change in gravitational potential energy is

  1. A \(-450 J\)
  2. B \(-480 J\)
  3. C \(-240 J\)
  4. D \(-500 J\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-480 J\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\mathbf{E}=(5 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+12 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{Nkg}^{-1}, m=2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(\mathbf{r}=(12 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+15 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{m}\) Gravitational potential,…
