NEET Physics Potential Energy MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about gravitational potential energy are correct?
Gravitational potential energy is defined as the negative of work done by gravitational force.
Potential energy is positive when an object is raised to a height h.
The gravitational potential energy at height h converts fully to kinetic energy just before impact.
The gravitational force acts upward when an object is raised, indicated by a positive work done.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as it reflects that gravitational potential energy is the negative of the work done by gravitational force. Statement C is also true, but only A is focused on potential energy itself. B and D contain misconceptions about the nature of potential energy and the direction of forces.
