A body tied to a string of length $L$ is revolved in a vertical circle with minimum velocity, when the body reaches the upper most point the string breaks and the body moves under the influence of the gravitational field of earth along a parabolic path. The horizontal range $AC$ of the body will be

If the radius of the earth were shrink by $1\%$ and its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would

Which of the following graph represents the variations of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ with distance $r$ from the centre of earth?

A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $6\,R$ above the surface of  earth ($R$ is the radius of earth). The time period of another satellite at a height of $2.5\,R$ from the surface of the earth is :-

The value of $g$ at the surface of earth is $9.8 \,m / s ^2$. Then the value of ' $g$ ' at a place $480 \,km$ above the surface of the earth will be nearly .......... $m / s ^2$ (radius of the earth is $6400 \,km$ )

A particle of mass $M$ is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of same mass and radius $a$. The gravitational potential at a point situated at $\frac {a}{2}$ distance from the centre, will be
