Energy required in moving a body of mass `m` from a distance 2R to 3R from centre of earth of mass M isA. `(GMm)/(12 R^(2))`B. `(GMm)/(3R^(2))`C. `(GMm)/(8R)`D. `(GMm)/(4R)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D Change in potential energy in displacing a body from `r_(1)` to `r_(2)` is given by `DeltaU=GMm[(1)/(r_(1))-(1)/(r_(2))]=GMm((1)/(2R)-(1)/(4R))=(GMm)/(4R)` |
