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)
