1.	Does the change in gravitational potential energy of a body between to given points depend upon the nature of path followed why?
Answer» Solution :The change in gravitational Potential energy of a body depends only upon the POSITION of the PATH FOLLOWED. It is due to the fact that the gravitational FORCE is a conservative force depends only on the position of initial & final POINTS and is independent of path followed.
