NEET Physics Potential Energy Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The potential energy of an object at a height h is given by V(h) = mgh.
Reason (R): The gravitational force is equal to the negative derivative of potential energy with respect to height.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential energy V(h) = mgh represents the energy due to gravity at height h. The gravitational force is indeed the negative derivative of this potential energy with respect to height, confirming the assertion and reason.
