Newton's Law of Gravitation States That Two Bodies with Masses m1 and m2m_{1} \text { and } m_{2}

Question 19

Multiple Choice

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1 and m2m_{1} \text { and } m_{2} attract each other with a force F=Gm1m2r2F=G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}} where r is the distance between the bodies and G is the gravitation constant. If one of bodies is fixed, find the work needed to move the other from r=mr=m to r=hr=h .


A) W=Gm1m2(1m21h2) W=G m_{1} m_{2}\left(\frac{1}{m^{2}}-\frac{1}{h^{2}}\right)
B) W=Gm1m2(1h21m2) W=G m_{1} m_{2}\left(\frac{1}{h^{2}}-\frac{1}{m^{2}}\right)
C) W=Gm1m2(1h1m) W=G m_{1} m_{2}\left(\frac{1}{h}-\frac{1}{m}\right)
D) W=Gm1m2(1m2+1h2) W=G m_{1} m_{2}\left(\frac{1}{m^{2}}+\frac{1}{h^{2}}\right)
E) W=Gm1m2(1m1h) W=G m_{1} m_{2}\left(\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{h}\right)
