    1- At what height above the surface of the earth value of acceleration due to gravity is reduced to one
    fourth of its value on the surface of the earth?
    2- Name two factors which determine whether a planet has atmosphere or not?
    3- On which fundamental law of physics is keplers second law is based?
    4- Name two factors which determine whether a planet would have atmosphere or not.
    5- A satellite revolves close to the surface of a planet. How is its orbital Velocity related with escape
    velocity of that planet.
    6- Identify the position of sun in the following diagram if the linear speed of the planet is greater at C than
    at D.

    7- ls it possible to place an artificial satellite in an orbit so that it is always Visible Over New Delhi.
    The time period of the satellite of the earth is 5 hr. If the separation between earth and satellite is
    increased to 4 times the previous value, then what will be the new time period of satellite. Ans – 40 hr.
    8- With two characteristics of gravitational force?
    9- If radius of earth is 6400km, what will be the weight of 1 quintal body if taken to the height of 1600 km
    above the sea level? Ans- 64 kg
    10- The distance of the planet Jupiter from the sun is 5.2 times that of the earth. Find the period of the
    Jupiter’s revolution around the sun? ans – 11.86 yr
    11- State two essential requisites of geostationary satellite?
    12- 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 = kg, radius = 6400 km.
    Ans;
    13- If the radius of the earth Were to decrease by 1%, keeping its mass same, how will the acceleration due
    to gravity change? Ans: increases by 2%.
    14- If "g" be the acceleration due to gravity on earth"s surface, Calculate the gain in potential energy of an
    object of mass m raised from the surface of earth to a height equal to the radius or earth in term of "g".
    15- A satellite is moving round the earth with velocity v what should be the minimum percentage increase
    in its velocity so that the satellite escapes. Ans: 41.4%
    16- At what height from the surface of the earth will the value of "g" be reduced by 36% of its value at the

    surface of earth. Ans:

    gravitational field due to earth and moon cancel each other. Given distance of moon from earth is 60 R,

    where R is radius of earth. Ans : 6 R

    down to the centre of the earth if it weighed 250 N on the surface? Ans: 125N
    23- A rocket is fired from the earth towards the sun. At what distance from the earth"s centre is the
    gravitational force on the rocket zero? Mass of the sun = kg, mass of the earth = kg.
    8
    Neglect the effect of other planets etc. (orbital radius = m). Ans: 2.59 x 10 m
