A person brings a mass of 1 kg from infinity to a point A. Initially the mass was at rest but it moves at a speed of 2 m s −1 as it reaches A. The work done by the person on the mass is −3 J. The potential at A is

−2 J kg−1
−5 J kg−4
none of these.

उत्तर
−5 J kg−4
The work done by the person is equal to the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the mass of 1 kg at point A.
Let VA be the potential at point A.
\[\text { Now }, W = \frac{1}{2}m v^2 + \left( P . E . \right)_A \]
\[ \Rightarrow W = \frac{1}{2}m v^2 + V_A \times m\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 3 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times (2 )^2 + V_A \times 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow V_A = - 5 J/Kg\]

What happens to the force between two objects, if the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
