NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The work done by gravitational force is negative when lifting an object against gravity. | Reason (R): Work done against gravity increases the gravitational potential energy of the object.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Lifting an object against gravity involves work done against gravitational force, which is stored as an increase in gravitational potential energy. This is consistent with the context where work done by gravitational force is the negative of potential energy change.
