Gravitational potential at X= 2 m is dec...

Gravitational potential at `X= 2 m` is decreasing at a rate of `10 J//kg - m` along the positive x- direction. If implies that the magnitude of gravitational filed at `X = 2m` is also `10 n//kg`. Is this statement true or false?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`|E| = sqrt[(-(delV)/(del_(X)))^(2) + (-(delV)/(del_(Y)))^(2)+((-delV)/(del_(Z)))^(2))`
`-(delV)/(delx) = 10 J//kg -m` is given
No information is given about
`- (delV)/(del_(Y))` and `-(delV)/(del_(Z))`
So, `|E| ge 10 N//kg`
