Starting from the centre of the earth having radius $$R$$, the variation of $$g$$ (acceleration due to gravity) is shown by

If escape velocity on earth surface is $$11.1 \mathrm{~kmh}^{-1}$$, then find the escape velocity on moon surface. If mass of moon is $$\frac{1}{81}$$...

The height vertically above the earth's surface at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $$1 \%$$ of its value at the surface is

An uniform sphere of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ exerts a force of $$F$$ on a small mass $$m$$ placed at a distance of 3R from the centre of the spher...

The acceleration due to gravity at a height of $$7 \mathrm{~km}$$ above the earth is the same as at a depth d below the surface of the earth. Then d i...

If the earth were to spin faster, acceleration due to gravity at the poles

The height at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $$\frac{g}{16}$$ (where, g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth) in t...

The escape velocity of a projectile on the earth's surface is 11.2 km/s. A body is projected out with thrice this speed. The speed of the body far awa...

Kepler's second law of planetary motion corresponds to

A constant potential energy of a satellite is given as $$\mathrm{PE}=r(\mathrm{KE})$$ whee, PE = potential energy and KE = kinetic energy. The value o...

A satellite can be in a geostationary orbit around a planet if it is at a distance R from the centre of the planet. If the planet starts rotating abou...

Two spherical bodies of masses M and 5M and radii R and 2R are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to 12 R. If ...
