QNEET-2022-Ph-528: NEET 2022 Physics - Class 11 NEET-2022-Ph-528 Solution: A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is…

A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from A to B through different paths as shown. If W1W2W_1 W_2 and W3W_3 represent the work done by the gravitational force along the respective paths then: W1<W2<W3W_1 < W_2 < W_3 W1=W2=W3W_1 = W_2 = W_3 W1>W2>W3W_1 > W_2 > W_3 W1>W3>W2W_1 > W_3 > W_2

Multiple Choice Options

  • A W 1 < W 2 < W 3
  • B W 1 = W 2 = W 3
  • C W 1 > W 2 > W 3
  • D W 1 > W 3 > W 2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Since the gravitational field is conservative in nature hence the work done would depend only on the initial and final positions and not on the path followed by the mass. Hence, W 1 = W 2 = W 3
