Introduction to Gravitation || Variation in planetary Motion

Assertion : Plane of a satellite always passes through the centre of earth Reason : Gravitational force on satellite is always towards centre of earth.

Escape Velocity||Satellite Motion||Kepler's Laws

Questions based on gravitational acceleration and orbital motion

Effect on gravitation acceleration due to rotation of earth and orbital motion

Gravitational Potential Energy | Escape Velocity | Motion of Satellite | Energy of Satellite | Circular and Elliptical Orbits

Assertion : A satellite can not be set on a stable orbit in a planet not passing through the earth's centre. Reason: For the orbital motion of satellite, the centripetal force is provided by gravitational pull of earth on satellite.
