List of top Physics Questions on Gravitation asked in MET

A research satellite of mass $200\mathrm{kg}$ circles the earth in an orbit of average radius $\frac{3R}{2}$, where $R$ is the radius of the earth. Assuming the gravitational pull on a mass of $1\mathrm{kg}$ on the earth's surface to be $10\mathrm{N}$, the pull on the satellite will be

A geo-stationary satellite is orbiting the earth at height of 6\(R\) above the surface of the earth, \(R\) being the radius of the earth. The time period of another satellite at a height of 2.5 \(R\) from the surface of the earth is

A thin walled glass sphere of radius 2.5 cm is filled with water. An object (O) is placed at 7.5 cm from the surface of the sphere. Neglecting the effect of glass wall, at what distance the image (I) of the object, measured from the centre of sphere is formed?

For a given density of a planet, the orbital speed of satellite near the surface of the planet of radius \(R\) is proportional to

At what height h above earth, the value of g becomes g/2? (R = Radius of earth)

The time period of a geostationary satellite at a height 36000 km is 24 h. A spy satellite orbits earth at a height 6400 km. What will be the time period of spy satellite? [Radius of the earth = 6400 km]
