A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of $5\, ms^{-1}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of $3\, ms^{-1}$ at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $ms^{-2}$) is (given $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$)

  • A

    $3.5$

  • B

    $5.9$

  • C

    $16.3$

  • D

    $110.8$

The mass of the earth is $81$ times that of the moon and the radius of the earth is $3.5$ times that of the moon. The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon to that at the surface of the earth is

The mass of the moon is $\frac{1}{{81}}$ of the earth but the gravitational pull is $\frac{1}{6}$ of the earth. It is due to the fact that

The value of $‘g’$ at a particular point is $9.8\,m/{s^2}$. Suppose the earth suddenly shrinks uniformly to half its present size without losing any mass. The value of $‘g’$ at the same point (assuming that the distance of the point from the centre of earth does not shrink) will now be ......... $m/{\sec ^2}$.
