NEET2022PhysicsWork, Power and EnergyActual
A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from A to B through different paths as shown. If W₁, W₂ and W₃ represent the work done by the gravitational force along the respective paths, then
Options
- AW ₁= W ₂= W ₃
- BW ₁> W ₂> W ₃
- CW ₁> W ₃> W ₂
- DW ₁ < W ₂ < W ₃
Correct answer
A. W ₁= W ₂= W ₃
Step-by-step solution
Since, gravitational force is a conservative force and hence the work done is independent of the paths covered between points A and B .
