NEET Physics: Gravitation — MCQ Test 9

Q6. What is the gravitational force on a \( 2 \, \text{kg} \) mass inside a hollow spherical shell of mass \( 1000 \, \text{kg} \) and radius \( 1 \, \text{m} \)?

Q7. A body is launched from Earth at \( 11.8 \, \text{km/s} \). What is its speed at infinity? (Escape speed = \( 11.2 \, \text{km/s} \))

Q8. A body is launched from Earth at \( 13.5 \, \text{km/s} \). What is its speed at infinity? (Escape speed = \( 11.2 \, \text{km/s} \))

Q9. How much energy is required to move a \( 500 \, \text{kg} \) satellite from \( 9 R_E \) to \( 18 R_E \) from Earth’s center? (\( M_E = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q10. Why does an object need a minimum speed to escape Earth’s gravity?
