Question

If W₁, W₂ and W₃ represent the work done in
moving a particle from A to B along three different
paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively (as shown) in the
gravitational field of a point mass m, find the
correct relation between W₁, W₂ and W₃ (diagram)
(a) W₁> W₂ > W₃ (b) W₁= W₂ = W₃
(c) W₁< W₂ < W₃ (d) W₂> W₁ > W₃

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the gravitational field is a conservative field, hence the work done in taking a particle from one point to another in a gravitational field of path independent.

⟹ w1=w2=w3

Answer 2

Answer:

W1=W2=W3

Explanation:

bcz of work energy theorem.
