Prepare for NEET Physics Gravitation (Variation Of 'G') with MCQs & PYQs on NEET.GUIDE. Access free practice, previous year questions, and expert solutions to analyze how gravitational acceleration changes with altitude and latitude.
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 'G' (universal gravitational constant) :
Remains constant everywhere in the universe.
Changes with altitude.
Changes with depth.
Changes with the mass of the objects involved.
The value of 'G' was experimentally determined by:
Henry Cavendish
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein
Johannes Kepler
If the mass of two objects is doubled, and the distance between them is also doubled, the gravitational force between them will:
Remain the same
Double
Quadruple
Reduce to half
