QNEET-2019-Ph-811: NEET 2019 Physics - Class 11 NEET-2019-Ph-811 Solution: The work done to raise a mass m from the surface of the earth…
The work done to raise a mass m from the surface of the earth to a height h which is equal to the radius of the earth is: mgR 2mgR
Multiple Choice Options
- A mgR
- B 2mgR
- C 2 1 _ mgR
- D 2 3 _ mgR
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Initial potential energy at Earths
surface is
U i = _ G M m R
Final potential energy at height h = R :
U f = _ G M m 2 R
work done = change in PE
w = U f - U i
= G M m 2 R
= g R 2 m 2 R
= 1 2 mgR
