A particle is kept at rest at a distance $'R'$ from the surface of earth (of radius $R$). The minimum speed with which it should be projected so that it does not return is
$\sqrt {\frac{{GM}}{{4R}}} $
$\sqrt {\frac{{GM}}{{2R}}} $
$\sqrt {\frac{{GM}}{{R}}} $
$\sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{{R}}} $
The weight of a body on the surface of the earth is $63\, N$. What is the gravitational force on it due to the earth at a height equal to half the radius of the earth ? (in $N$)
A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $6\, R$ from the earth’s surface ($R$ is the earth’s radius ). What is the period of rotation of another satellite at a height of $2.5\, R$ from the earth’s surface
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
A projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in vertically upward direction from the ground into the space. ($v_e$ is escape velocity and $k < 1$). If air resistance is considered to be negligible then the maximum height from the centre of earth to whichit can go, will be : ($R =$ radius of earth)
When a body is taken from pole to the equator its weight
