The force of gravitation is
repulsive
conservative
electrostatic
non-conservative
The work done by force of gravitation does not depend on path taken hence force of gravitation is conservative
The variation of acceleration due to gravity $g$ with distance $d$ from centre of the earth is best represented by ($R =$ Earth's radius)
A thin rod of length $L$ is bent to form a semicircle. The mass of rod is $M.$ What will be the gravitational potential at the centre of the circle?
A body of mass $m$ falls from a height $R$ above the surface of the earth, where $R$ is the radius of the earth. What is the velocity attained by the body on reaching the ground? (Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $g$ )
A satellite is moving around the earth with speed $V$ in circular orbit of radius $r$ . If the orbital radius is decreased by $2\%$ , the speed of the satellite will
A particle of mass $M$ is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of same mass and radius $a$. The gravitational potential at a point situated at $\frac {a}{2}$ distance from the centre, will be
