Q9. A body weighs \( 98 \, \text{N} \) on Earth’s surface. What is its weight at a height \( h = 2 R_E/3 \)? (\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q10. What happens to the acceleration due to gravity at Earth’s center?

Q11. A projectile is launched from Earth’s surface with speed \( 8 \, \text{km/s} \). How far from the center does it reach? (Escape speed = \( 11.2 \, \text{km/s}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q12. What is the gravitational potential due to Earth at \( 2.56 \times 10^7 \, \text{m} \) from its center? (\( M_E = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q13. A projectile is launched at \( 4 \, \text{km/s} \) from Earth’s surface. What is its maximum distance from the center? (Escape speed = \( 11.2 \, \text{km/s}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q14. A satellite orbits a planet at \( 5 \times 10^7 \, \text{m} \) from its center with a period of 12 hours. What is the planet’s mass? (\( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q15. A \( 400 \, \text{kg} \) satellite orbits Earth at \( 5 R_E \) from the center. What is its total energy? (\( M_E = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))
