The percentage decrease in the weight of a rocket, when taken to a height of $32 km$ above the surface of earth will, be$.....\%$
(Radius of earth $=6400\,km$ )
$1$
$3$
$4$
$0.5$
The value of the acceleration due to gravity is $g _{1}$ at a height $h =\frac{ R }{2}( R =$ radius of the earth) from the surface of the earth. It is again equal to $g _{1}$ at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth. The ratio $\left(\frac{ d }{ R }\right)$ equals
Explain the variations of acceleration due to gravity inside and outside the earth and draw the graph.
Given below are two statements :
Statement$-I:$ Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of earth.
Statement$-II:$ Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go down below the earth's surface.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
The variation of acceleration due to gravity $g$ with distance $d$ from centre of the earth is best represented by ($R =$ Earth's radius)
An iron ball and a wooden ball of the same radius are released from a height $‘h’$ in vacuum. The time taken by both of them to reach the ground is equal is based on
