Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is $10\, m\, s^{-2}$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0\, m\, s^{-2}$. A $60\, kg$ pasenger goes from the Earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?
$A$
$B$
$C$
$D$
The angular speed of earth in $rad/s$, so that bodies on equator may appear weightless is : [Use $g = 10\, m/s^2$ and the radius of earth $= 6.4 \times 10^3\, km$]
A geostationary satellite is revolving around the earth. To make it escape from gravitational field of earth, is velocity must be increased ........ $\%$
A particle of mass $m$ is placed at the centre of a uniform spherical shell of mass $3\,m$ and radius $R$. The gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is
Which of the following graph represents the variations of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ with distance $r$ from the centre of earth?
The dependence of acceleration due to gravity $'g'$ on the distance $'r'$ from the centre of the earth, assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$ of uniform density is as shown in figure below
