Answer true or false. It takes the same amount of work to move an object from 16,000 km above the earth to 96,000 km above the earth as it does to move the object from 289,000 km above the earth to 369,000 km above the earth.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The work done to move an object in a gravitational field depends on the inverse square law of gravity, meaning the force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance from the center of the Earth. Therefore, moving an object from 16,000 km to 96,000 km involves a significantly different amount of work compared to moving it from 289,000 km to 369,000 km due to the different starting distances from Earth and the varying strength of Earth's gravitational pull at those distances.
