Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is $10\, m\, s^{-2}$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0\, m\, s^{-2}$. A $60\, kg$ pasenger goes from the Earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?
$A$
$B$
$C$
$D$
The height at which the weight of a body becomes $1/16^{th}$, its weight on the surface of earth (radius $R$), is
What should be the angular speed of the earth, so that a body lying on the equator may appear weightlessness $(g = 10\,m/s^2, R = 6400\,km)$
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
Suppose the earth stopped rotating. Then, the weight a body will
The value of escape velocity on a certain planet is $2\, km/s$ . Then the value of orbital speed for a satellite orbiting close to its surface is
