Question

A body of mass m is taken from the surface of the earth to the height h , equal to the radius of the Earth. The increase in potential energy will be, m g R, 1 2 m g R, 2 m g R, 1 4 m g R

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Increase in potential energy is, Δ U = m g h 1 + h R ∵ h = R So Δ U = m g R 2
