Important Questions from Gravitation
The direction of acceleration due to gravity 'g' is always:
Show answer
Downward
The acceleration due to gravity is always directed vertically downward, toward the center of the Earth.
The weight of a body is maximum at:
Show answer
Poles
The value of 'g' is maximum at the poles due to the Earth's shape and rotation, so weight (mg) is also maximum there.
The escape velocity from the surface of the Earth is approximately:
Show answer
11.2 km/s
The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 km/s, calculated using v_e = √(2gR).
The orbital velocity of a satellite close to the Earth's surface is approximately:
Show answer
7.9 km/s
The orbital velocity for a low Earth orbit is about 7.9 km/s, derived from v_o = √(gR).
