The force of gravitation is

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?

Figure shows the orbit of a planet $P$ round the sun $S.$ $AB$ and $CD$ are the minor and major axes of the ellipse.

If $t_1$ is the time taken by the planet to travel along $ACB$ and $t_2$ the time along $BDA,$ then

A satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius $R$ around earth, while a second satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius $1.02\, {R}$. The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites is -

Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with the distance from the centre of the earth (radius of the earth $= R_E$ )?

Masses and radii of earth and moon are $M_1,\, M_2$ and $R_1,\, R_2$ respectively. The distance between their centre is $'d'$ . The minimum velocity given to mass $'M'$ from the mid point of line joining their centre so that it will escape
