NEET Physics Gravitational Potential Energy Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Potential energy at infinity (i) Negative value (b) Work done in moving to a point (ii) Zero (c) Gravitational potential energy (iii) Depends on mass (d) Potential energy at depth (iv) Depends on distance from center
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential energy at infinity is defined as zero (W1 = 0), while the work done to a point is related to its potential energy, which is negative in the context of gravitational forces. The gravitational potential energy indeed depends on the mass of the particle involved, and the potential energy at a depth depends on the distance from the center of the Earth.
