Question Text
Question 1 :
Find out the correct relation for the dependance of change in acceleration due to gravity on the angle at the latitude due to rotation of earth?<br/>
Question 2 :
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is $r$ and the Earth takes time $T$ to make one complete revolution around the Sun. Assuming the orbit of the Earth around the Sun to be circular, the mass of the Sun will be proportional to
Question 3 :
The work done in shifting a particle of mass $m$ from the centre of earth to the surface of the earth is<br>
Question 4 :
At what depth from the surface of the earth (in terms of the radius of earth) the acceleration due to gravity will be: $\dfrac {2g}{5}$?
Question 5 :
Density remaining constant, if earth contracts to half of its present radius, duration of the day would be (in minutes)
Question 6 :
At what height the acceleration due to gravity will be reduced to $36\%$ of its value on the surface of the earth?
Question 7 :
A space ship is launched into a circular orbit close to the surface of the earth. The additional velocity now imparted to the spaceship in the orbit to overcome the gravitational pull is
Question 8 :
Assertion: On satellites we feel weightlessness. Moon is also a satellite of earth. But we do not feel weightlessness on moon.
Reason: Mass of moon is considerable.
Question 9 :
A particle of mass 1kg is placed at a distance of 4m from the centre and on the axis of a uniform ring of mass 5kg and radius 3m. The work done to increase the distance of the particle from 4m to $\sqrt{3}m$ is.<br>
Question 10 :
An artificial satellite of mass $m $ is moving in circular orbit at a height equal to the radius $R$ of the earth. Suddenly due to internal explosion the satellite breaks into two parts of equal pieces. One part of the satellite stops just after the explosion. The increase in the mechanical energy of the system due to explosion will be (Given: acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is $g$)
