Problem

When gravity is the only force doing work on an object that moves from an initial height to a final height, the change in the object’s gravitational potential energy ΔUg\Delta U_g is a) ΔUg\Delta U_g is always zero because gravity is a conservative force b) ΔUg\Delta U_g is equal in magnitude and identical in sign to the work done by gravity on the object c) ΔUg\Delta U_g is equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the work done by gravity on the object d) ΔUg\Delta U_g is equal to the total work done by all forces acting on the object
