AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Gravitational Potential Energy MCQ Question
A body of mass m is placed on earth surface which is taken from earth surface to a height of h = 3R then change in gravitational potential energy is :-
mgR/4
2/3 mgR
3/4 mgR
mgR/2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The change in gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula ΔU = mgh, considering the height as a multiple of Earth's radius.
