Gravitation Question 229

Question: If [W1] , [W2] and [W3] represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3, respectively, (as ) in the gravitational field of a point mass m, find the correct relation between [W1] ,[W2] and [W3] .

Options:

A) [W1>W2>W3]

B) [W1=W2=W3]

C) [W1<W2<W3]

D) [W2<W1<W3]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • As gravitational force is a conservative force, work done is independent of path. [W1=W2=W3]
