List of top Physics Questions on Gravitational Potential Energy asked in KEAM

When a satellite moves from the farthest stable orbit to the nearest stable orbit towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy

The ratio of the magnitudes of gravitational potential energy to that of kinetic energy of an earth satellite of mass $m$ revolving in any orbit is

If orbital radius of geostationary satellite decreases, gravitational potential energy

If \( K \) is the kinetic energy of a satellite at a height \( h \) from the surface of earth, then its total energy is

The ratio between the gravitational potential energies of 1 kg of mass on the surface of two planets having masses and radii in the ratio \(1 : 2\) and \(1 : 3\) respectively, is

Consider a satellite moving in a circular orbit around Earth. If $K$ and $V$ denote its kinetic energy and potential energy respectively then (Choose the convention where $V = 0$ as $r \to \infty$)

A body of mass \(m\) is released from a height equal to the radius \(R\) of earth. The velocity with which it will strike earth’s surface is

If a body of mass \(m\) has to be taken from the surface of earth to a height \(h = R\), then the amount of energy required is (\(R\): radius of earth)

If a body of mass \(m\) has to be taken from the surface of earth to a height \(h = R\), then the amount of energy required is (\(R\): radius of earth)

If a body of mass \(m\) has to be taken from the surface of earth to a height \(h = R\), then the amount of energy required is (\(R\): radius of earth)
