The change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of earth. When both $d$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of earth, then which one of the following is correct ?
$d = \frac{h}{2}$
$d = \frac{3h}{2}$
$d = 2h$
$d = h$
A clock $S$ is based on oscillation of a spring and a clock $P$ is based on pendulum motion. Both clocks run at the same rate on earth. On a planet having the same density as earth but twice the radius
The kinetic energy needed to project a body of mass $m$ from the earth's surface (radius $R$ ) to infinity is
A planet orbits the sun in an elliptical path as shown in the figure. Let $v_P$ and $v_A$ be speed of the planet when at perihelion and aphelion respectively. Which of the following relations is correct ?
At what altitude will the acceleration due to gravity be $25\% $ of that at the earth’s surface (given radius of earth is $R$) ?
The kinetic energy needed to project a body of mass $m$ from the earth's surface (radius $R$) to infinity is
