Vedclass · Answer

$(A)$ The gravitational potential energy $(U)$ of a system of two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$ is given by $U = -G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r}$. Since $G$, $m_1$, $m_2$, and $r$ are all positive, $U$ is always negative. Thus, $(1)$ matches with $(b)$.The potential energy of a system is negative if the force between the constituents is attractive. Since the gravitational force between galaxies is always attractive, their gravitational potential energy is negative. Thus, $(2)$ matches with $(c)$.Therefore, the correct matching is $(1-b, 2-c)$.

$(1)$ Can never be positive.	$(a)$ Escape velocity
$(2)$ Reason for negative potential energy of galaxies.	$(b)$ Gravitational potential energy
	$(c)$ The nature of force between different galaxies is attractive.
