object moving from point
B to point A and the
gravitational potential
energy of the object-
Earth system at different
points along the
trajectory. There are no
other forces exerted on
the object.
Which of the following
best describes the
direction of the force
exerted on the object
due to the gravitational
field as the object moves
along the path from point
B to point A?
A
The force is always
directed tangent to the
path.
B
The force is always
directed perpendicular
to the path.
C
The force is always
directed downward.
D
The force is always
directed upward.
E
The force is always
directed opposite the
motion of the particle.

The figure shows an 12U0
object moving from point
B to point A and the
gravitational potential
energy of the object-
Earth system at different
points along the
trajectory. There are no
other forces exerted on
the object.
The magnitude of the
force associated with the
gravitational field is
constant and has a value
F. A particle is launched
from point B with an
initial velocity and
reaches point A having
gained U0 joules of
kinetic energy. A resistive
force field is now set up
such that it is directed
opposite the gravitational
field with a force of
constant magnitude 12F.
A particle is again
launched from point B.
How much kinetic energy
will the particle gain as it
moves from point B to
point A?
A
14U0
B
12U0
C
U0
D
32U0
