Questions  

Assuming that the gravitational potential energy of an object at infinity is zero, the change in potential energy (final – initial) of an object of mass m, when taken to a height h from the surface of earth (of radius R), is given by,

a
GMmR+h
b
-GMmR+h
c
GMmhR(R+h)
d
mgh

detailed solution

Correct option is C

(P.E)A=-GMmR(P.E)B=-GMmR+h∴ ΔU=(P.E)B-(P.E)A=- GMm R+h+ GMm R= GMmh (R)(R+h)
