Work done is taking a mass from one point to another in a gravitational field depends on:

A

the end points only

B

the path followed

C

the velocity of the mass

D

both the length of the path and the end points

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Gravitational field is a conservative field. Hence, work done in taking a mass from one point to another in this field depends only on its end points but independent of the path followed.
