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
Decrease by $2\%$
Remain unchanged
Increase by $2\%$
Becomes zero
A body of mass $m$ is situated at distance $4R_e$ above the Earth's surface, where $R_e$ is the radius of Earth how much minimum energy be given to the body so that it may escape
Masses and radii of earth and moon are $M_1,\, M_2$ and $R_1,\, R_2$ respectively. The distance between their centre is $'d'$ . The minimum velocity given to mass $'M'$ from the mid point of line joining their centre so that it will escape
If the gravitational acceleration at surface of Earth is $g$, then increase in potential energy in lifting an object of mass $m$ to a height equal to half of radius of earth from surface will be
Escape velocity at the surface of earth is $11.2\,km/sec$ . If radius of planet is double that of earth but mean density same as that of earth then the escape velocity will be ........ $km/sec$
Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the $n^{th}$ power of distance. Then the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius $R$ around the sun will be proportional to
