Two identical objects are placed at a distance apart. If the distance between them is doubled, how does the gravitational potential energy between them change?
It becomes half.
It becomes double.
It becomes one-fourth.
It remains the same.
If the radius of the Earth were to shrink by half, with its mass remaining constant, how would the gravitational potential energy of an object on its surface change?
It would become twice as negative.
It would become half as negative.
It would remain the same.
It would become four times as negative.
At what height above the Earth's surface is the gravitational potential energy of a body half of its value at the surface?
A planet has twice the mass and half the radius of Earth. Compared to an object on Earth's surface, the gravitational potential energy of an object of the same mass on the planet's surface would be:
Four times as negative.
Twice as negative.
Half as negative.
The same.
