Practice question
Question
Which of the following statements is incorrect about gravitational potential energy?
Explanation
It’s negative (option 1 correct), zero at infinity (option 2 correct), and conservative (option 3 correct). Option 4 is incorrect as it depends on distance, not mass alone. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to It depends only on mass. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option D is scientifically correct.
