If the radius of the earth were to shrink by $1\%$ its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would
Decrease by $2\%$
Remain unchanged
Increase by $2\%$
Becomes zero
Given that mass of the earth is $M$ and its radius is $R$. A body is dropped from a height equal to the radius of the earth above the surface of the earth. When it reaches the ground its velocity will be
A body of mass $m$ is kept at a small height $h$ above the ground. If the radius of the earth is $R$ and its mass is $M$, the potential energy of the body and earth system (with $h = \infty $ being the reference position ) is
The radius of a planet is $R$. A satellite revolves around it in a circle of radius $r$ with angular velocity $\omega _0.$ The acceleration due to the gravity on planet’s surface is
A body of mass $m$ is situated at a distance equal to $2R$ ($R-$ radius of earth) from earth's surface. The minimum energy required to be given to the body so that it may escape out of earth's gravitational field will be
The kinetic energy needed to project a body of mass $m$ from the earth's surface (radius $R$ ) to infinity is
