The potential energy of a satellite of mass $m$ and revolving at a height $R_e$ above the surface of earth where $R_e =$ radius of earth, is
$-m\, g\, R_e$
$\frac{{ - m\,g\,{R_e}}}{2}$
$\frac{{ - m\,g\,{R_e}}}{3}$
$\frac{{ - m\,g\,{R_e}}}{4}$
A body of mass $m$ falls from a height $R$ above the surface of the earth, where $R$ is the radius of the earth. What is the velocity attained by the body on reaching the ground? (Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $g$ )
A clock $S$ is based on oscillation of a spring and a clock $P$ is based on pendulum motion. Both clocks run at the same rate on earth. On a planet having the same density as earth but twice the radius
A small ball of mass $'m'$ is released at a height $'R'$ above the Earth surface, as shown in the figure. If the maximum depth of the ball to which it goes is $R/2$ inside the Earth through a narrow grove before coming to rest momentarily. The grove, contain an ideal spring of spring constant $K$ and natural length $R,$ the value of $K$ is ( $R$ is radius of Earth and $M$ mass of Earth)
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
Figure shows the variation of the gravitatioal acceleration $a_g$ of four planets with the radial distance $r$ from the centre of the planet for $r\geq $ radius of the planet. Plots $1$ and $2$ coincide for $r\geq R_2$ and plots $3$ and $4$ coincide for $r \geq R_4$. The sequence of the planets in the descending order of their densities is
