The gravitational field in a in region is given by vecg = (4hati + vecj) N//kg . What done by this field is zero when the particle is moved along the line :

There are three identical point mass bodies each of mass m locted at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side r . They are experting gravitational force of attraction on each other, which can be given by Newton's law of gravitaiton. Each mass body produces its gravitational field in the surrounding region. the magnitude of gravitational field at a point due to a point mass body is the measure of gravitaitonal intensity at that point. The gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is the amount of workdone in bringing a unit mass body infinity to the given point without acceleration. Answer the following questions : Work done in taking one body far away from the other two bodies is

Statement-1: Work done in gravitational field in cyclic process is zero. Statement-2: Work done in conservation field does not depend upon path.

If the particle moves opposite to the conservative field, work done by the field will be ________ and so change in potential energy will be _________, i.e. potential energy wil ________ .

Gravitational potential difference between a point on surface of planet and another point 10 m above is 4J/kg. Considering gravitational field to be uniform, how much work is donw in moving a mass of 2kg from the surface to a point 5 m above the surface?

Work done by an electrostatic field in moving a given charge from one point to another …… upon the chosen.

Statement-1: Gravitational potential is zero inside a shell. Statement-2: Gravitational potential is equal to the work done in bringing a unit mass from infinity to a point inside gravitational field.

Assertion : Gravitational potential is maximum at infinite. Reason : Gravitational potential is the amount of work done to shifting a unit mass from infinity to a given point in gravitational attraction force field.
