If the earth stops rotating about its own axis, what is the effect on the value of weight of any object on the surface of earth?

Why is the weight of an object on the moon frac(1)(6)th weight on the earth?

What is the orbital velocity for a satellite orbiting close to the surface of earth?

What is the value of escape velocity from the surface of (/) earth, (//) moon?

What is the effect of non-sphericity of the earth on the value of 'g'?

The weight of an object at the centre of the earth of radius R is

Write the formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth.

What are the differences between the mass of an object and its weight?

As you have learnt in the text, a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36,000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth’s gravity at the site of this satellite? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero). Mass of the earth = 6.0 xx 10^24 kg, radius = 6400 km

Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?

The radius of the Moon is frac(1)(4)^th the radius of the earth and its mass is frac(1)(96)^th the mass of the earth. If the escape velocity from the surface of the earth is 11.2k ms^(-1) , find the escape velocity from the surface of the Moon.
