NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11
Which of the following statements about the relationship between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy is correct?
A
Gravitational potential energy decreases as height increases.
B
The kinetic energy of an object just before it hits the ground equals its gravitational potential energy at height h.
C
An object gains gravitational potential energy when it falls.
D
The work done by gravitational force is positive when an object is raised to height h.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
As the object falls from height h, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is expressed by the equation v² = 2gh, showing the energy transformation.
