Answer should be with -ve sign. It’s not precisely right.Delta2 said:is a convention if we should take the work of weight as positive or negative.
Also we can choose any reference point and it’s the change of PE that is physical and not the PE itself. Someone said this.Can you explain?
Is it because there is no actual place where PE=0 other than when the two bodies stick to each other. Like if we say PE=0 on ground, then if we dig beneath a ball placed on ground it will fall into hole. So it’s PE is actually not zero.
