Assertion : Gravitational potential of earth at every place body are equal to one. Reason: Everybody on earth is bound by the attraction of earth.
The gravitational potential due to the earth is minimum at
Gravitational Potential At A Point Due To The Earth
The diagram showing the variation of gravitational potential of earth with distance from the centre of earth is
The diagram showing the variation of gravitational potential of earth with distance from the centre of earth is
The height from the surface of earth at which the gravitational potential energy of a ball of mass m is half of that at the centre of earth is (where R is the radius of earth)
How is gravitational potential on the surface of earth, at a given point, related with acceleration due to gravity g? Take radius of earth = R.
Assertion : The gravitational attraction of moon is much less than that of earth. Reason : Moon is the neutral satellite of the earth.
