A perfectly spherical planet X has twice the radius of Earth and half the average density. An object weighs 100 N on Earth's surface. What would be its weight on the surface of planet X?
25 N
50 N
100 N
200 N
If Earth's density were doubled while its radius remained constant, the acceleration due to gravity at its surface would:
Halve
Remain the same
Double
Quadruple
If Earth's radius were doubled while its mass remained constant, the acceleration due to gravity at its surface would:
Double
Halve
Become one-fourth
Remain the same
A planet has a radius R and density . If both are doubled, the acceleration due to gravity at its surface will:
remain the same
be doubled
be 4 times the original value
be halved
At what height above the Earth's surface is the acceleration due to gravity half of its value at the surface? (R is the radius of Earth)
R/2
R
2R
The value of acceleration due to gravity 'g' is maximum at the:
Poles of the Earth
Equator of the Earth
A height of 100 km above the Earth's surface
Center of the Earth
If the Earth were to shrink to half its radius without changing its mass, the value of 'g' on its surface would become:
Half
Double
Four times larger
One-fourth
At what height above the Earth's surface is the value of 'g' half of its value at the surface? (R = Radius of Earth)
R/2
R
(β2 - 1)R
2R
The value of 'g' at the center of the Earth is:
Maximum
Minimum but not zero
Zero
Equal to 'g' at the surface
