NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 5. work,energy,power and collision
A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from \(A\) to \(B\) through different paths as shown. If \(W _1, W _2\) and \(W _3\) represent the work done by the gravitational force along the respective paths, then
- A \(W _1= W _2= W _3\)
- B \(W _1 > W _2 > W _3\)
- C \(W _1 > W _3 > W _2\)
- D \(W_1 < W_2 < W_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(W _1= W _2= W _3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Gravitational force is a conservative force so W.D. is independent of path taken between two points.
