If the force of gravitation acts on apples on the tree at different height from the surface of the earth, can it also act on object at even greater heights, much farther at even greater heights, much farther away from the earth, like for example, the moon?

As the height of the object from the surface of the Earth increases,value of 'g' becomes __.

According to newtons law of gravitation, for two objects kept at a distance d from each other, if the distance between the objects is doubled, then the force between the two objects ______.

If g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface, the gain of the potential energy of an object of mass m raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius R of the earth is

A body weighs 72 N on the surface of the earth What is the gravitational force on it, at a height equal to half the radius of the earth

Select the appropriate options and complete the following paragraph (Velocity, independent, initial velocity, dependent, gravity, friction, final velocity , direction ) The motion of any object under the influence of the force of ______ alone is called as free fall. During free fall, there will be no change in the ______ of motion of the object. But there will be a change in the magnitude of ______ of the object due to the gravitational pull of the earth . The acceleration that an object experiences during free fall is ____ of the mass of the object undergoing motion. when a body is dropped freely from a height, its ______ is zero. Whereas when a body is thrown vertically upwards, its ________ is zero .

The gravitational force due to the earth also acts on the moon because of which it revolves around the earth. Similar situation exists for the artificial satellites orbiting the earth. The moon and the artificial satellites orbit the earth. The earth attracts them towards itself but unlike the falling apple,they do not fall on the earth, why?

Assuming that the gravitational potential energy of an object at infinity is zero, the change in potential energy (final-initial) of an object of mass m, when taken to a height h from the surface of earth (of radius R), is given by,

For a particle projected in a transverse direction from a height h above earth's surface, find the minimum initial velocity so that it just grazes the surface of earth such that path of this particle would be an ellipse with centre of earth as the farther focus, point of projection as the apogee and a diametrically opposite point on earth's surface as perigee.

A body of mass m is raised to a height 10 R from the surface of the earth, where R is the radius of the earth. Find the increase in potential energy. (G = universal constant of gravitational, M = mass of the earth and g= acceleration due to gravity)
