What is the gravitational potential energy of the Earth and Sun? The Earth to Sun distance is around 150 million km. The mass of the Earth is 5.9 × 1024 kg and mass of the Sun is 1.9 × 1030 kg.
-
Why the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun is so great while the same force between two small objects is negligible?
-
The following photographs are taken from the recent lunar eclipse which occurred on January 31, 2018. Is it possible to prove that Earth is a sphere from these photographs?

A Geo-stationary satellite bits around the earth in a circular but of radius 36,000 m then what will be the time period of a specially satellite orbiting a few hundred km above the earth's surface (Rearth = 6400 km)
-
Determine gravitational potential from gravitational potential energy?

-
What will be the potential energy of a body of mass 67kg at a distance of 6.6x 1010 m from the centre of the earth? Find gravitational potential at this distance

1. Calculate the value of g in the following two cases:
(a) If a mango of mass ½ kg falls from a tree from a height of 15 meters, what is the acceleration due to gravity when it begins to fall?
(b) Consider a satellite orbiting the Earth in a circular orbit of radius 1600 km above the surface of the Earth. What is the acceleration experienced by the satellite due to Earth’s gravitational force? -
Qualitatively indicate the gravitational field of Sun on Mercury, Earth, and Jupiter shown in figure.

-
Two particles of masses mandm12 are placed along the x and y axes respectively at a distance ‘a’ from the origin. Calculate the gravitational field at a point P shown in figure below.
-
Explain how geocentric theory is replaced by heliocentric theory using the idea of retrograde motion of planets.
-
-
Water falls from the top of a hill to the ground. Why?This is because the top of the hill is a point of higher gravitational potential than the surface of the Earth i.e.
