Suppose the earth stopped rotating. Then, the weight a body will
Increase equally at all points
Decrease equally at all points
Increase at the equator
Increase at the poles
A satellite moving with velocity $v$ in a force free space collects stationary interplanetary dust at a rate of $\frac{{dM}}{{dt}} = \alpha v$ where $M$ is the mass (of satellite + dust) at that instant . The instantaneous acceleration of the satellite is
The dependence of acceleration due to gravity $'g'$ on the distance $'r'$ from the centre of the earth, assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$ of uniform density is as shown in figure below
The radii of two planets are respectively $R_1$ and $R_2$ and their densities are respectively ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is
The Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$. A platform is arranged at a height $R$ from the surface of the Earth. The escape velocity of a body from this platform is $fv$, where $v$ is its escape velocity from the surface of the Earth. the value of $f$ is
At what altitude will the acceleration due to gravity be $25\% $ of that at the earth’s surface (given radius of earth is $R$) ?
