No work is done by gravity in moving the object from point $A$ to point $B$.
To solve the given question, we need to understand the concepts of gravitational potential and gravitational field.
The gravitational potential at a point in a field is defined as the work done per unit mass in bringing a mass from infinity to that point. It is a scalar quantity and is the same at points $A$ and $B$ as per the given condition.
On the other hand, the gravitational field at a point is a vector quantity and represents the force experienced by a unit mass placed at that point. The problem states that the gravitational fields at points $A$ and $B$ are different.
Let's analyze the correct option:
Let's eliminate the incorrect options:
Based on the reasoning above, the correct answer is:
No work is done by gravity in moving the object from point $A$ to point $B$.
Statement I: A body weighs less on a hill top than on earth's surface even though its mass remains unchanged.
Statement II: The acceleration due to gravity of the earth decreases with height.Mass of the earth is M and its radius is R. An object of mass m is placed on the surface of earth. Find the work done in lifting the object through a height \(\frac{R}{2}\) above the surface of earth.
Mass of uniform circular ring is M and its radius is R. Find the maximum intensity of gravitation field on the axis of the ring
A solid sphere of constant density p has mass M and radius R. What is the gravitational potential difference between a point P which is at distance \(\frac{R}{2}\) from the central and its surface?
(i.e. Vp - Vsurface)
