Question 1.
What is the value of the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the commonly used value for gravity.
Question 2.
What does the gravitational constant (G) represent?
Show hintHide hint
What is the numerical value of G?
3Question 3.
What happens to acceleration due to gravity as you ascend from Earth's surface?
- It increases
- It decreases
- It remains the same
Show hintHide hint
Consider how gravitational pull works.
4Question 4.
True or False: Gravitational pull is stronger below Earth's surface than at the surface.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how mass affects gravitational force.
Question 5.
A satellite is orbiting Earth at a height where gravitational acceleration is 8.7 m/s². Calculate the height of the satellite above Earth's surface. Use g(h) = g(1 - (h/R_E)).
Show hintHide hint
Rearrange the equation to solve for height h.
Question 6.
Explain why the gravitational force on an object at the center of the Earth is zero, considering Earth’s layers and gravitational principles.
