A body weighs $72\, N$ on the surface of the earth. What is the gravitational force(in $N$) on it, at a helght equal to half the radius of the earth$?$
$24$
$48$
$32$
$30$
In order to shift a body of mass $m$ from a circular orbit of radius $3R$ to a higher radius $5R$ around the earth, the work done is
Gravitation is the phenomenon of interaction between ............
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 ........ $km/sec$
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
The height at which the weight of a body becomes $1/16^{th}$, its weight on the surface of earth (radius $R$), is
