NEET Physics: Gravitation — MCQ Test 7

Q6. What is the gravitational force on a \( 8 \, \text{kg} \) mass \( 5 \, \text{m} \) from the center of a spherical shell of mass \( 400 \, \text{kg} \) and radius \( 3 \, \text{m} \)? (\( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q7. A projectile is launched at \( 2 \, \text{km/s} \) from Earth’s surface. What is its maximum distance from the center? (Escape speed = \( 11.2 \, \text{km/s}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q8. A \( 9 \, \text{kg} \) mass is moved from \( 9 R_E \) to \( 18 R_E \) from Earth’s center. What is the change in potential energy? (\( M_E = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q9. At what depth below Earth’s surface is \( g \) reduced to \( 8.33 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)? (\( g_0 = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q10. Why does Newton’s law of gravitation apply universally to all objects?
