The gravitational field in a region is given by \overset{\to}{g} = \left(5\overset{^}{\text{i}} + 12\overset{^}{j}\right)N{kg}^{- 1}. The change in the gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass 2kg2kg when it is taken from the origin to a point \left(7m, - 3m\right)$ is

Options

  1. A71J71\text{J}
  2. B1358J1 3 \sqrt{5 8} \text{J}
  3. C2J2\text{J}
  4. D1J1\text{J}

Correct answer

C. 2J2\text{J}

Step-by-step solution

dV=−g→.dr→dV = - \overset{\to}{g} . \overset{\to}{dr}

⇒∆V=−g→.∆r→⇒ ∆ V = - \overset{\to}{g} . ∆ \overset{\to}{r}
= - \left(5\overset{^}{\text{i}} + 12\overset{^}{\text{j}}\right) \cdot \left(7\overset{^}{\text{i}} - 3\overset{^}{\text{j}}\right)
=−(35−36)=1= - \left(3 5 - 3 6\right) = 1

⇒ \DeltaU=m\DeltaV=2J\text{⇒ \Delta}\text{U} = \text{m}\text{\Delta}\text{V} = 2 J
