Acceleration due to gravity is ‘g’ on the surface of the earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at a height of 32 km above earth’s surface is (Radius of the earth = 6400 km)
1. 0.9 g
2. 0.99 g
3. 0.8 g
4. 1.01 g
The height of a point vertically above the earth’s surface, at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes \(1\%\) of its value at the surface is: (Radius of the earth = \(R\))
1. \(8R\)
2. \(9R\)
3. \(10R\)
4. \(20R\)
If radius of earth is R then the height h’ at which value of ‘g’ becomes one-fourth is
1.
2.
3. R
4.
Two planets have the same average density but their radii are and . If acceleration due to gravity on these planets be and respectively, then
