Newton's Law of Gravitation States That Two Bodies with Masses m1m _ { 1 }

Question 36

Multiple Choice

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1m _ { 1 } and m2m _ { 2 } attract each other with a force
F=Gm1m2r2F = G \frac { m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } } { r ^ { 2 } } where rr is the distance between the bodies and GG is the gravitation constant. If one of bodies is fixed, find the work needed to move the other from r=lr = l to r=gr = g .


A)
W=Gm1m2(1l21g2) W = G m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { l ^ { 2 } } - \frac { 1 } { g ^ { 2 } } \right)
B)
W=Gm1m2(1l1g) W = G m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { l } - \frac { 1 } { g } \right)
C)
W=Gm1m2(1g21l2) W = G m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { g ^ { 2 } } - \frac { 1 } { l ^ { 2 } } \right)
D)
W=Gm1m2(1g1l) W = G m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { g } - \frac { 1 } { l } \right)
E)
W=Gm1m2(1l2+1g2) W = G m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { l ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { g ^ { 2 } } \right)
