The gravitational force between two particles is independent of the presence or absence of other particles. |
Card: 6 / 38 |
It is defined as the force experienced by unit mass placed at any point in the gravitational field. |
Card: 10 / 38 |

Card: 11 / 38 |
Kepler's First Law states that every planet moves around the sun in an ___ orbit. |
Card: 13 / 38 |

What condition must be met for a satellite to escape the gravitational field of a planet? |
Card: 21 / 38 |
The satellite's velocity must be equal to or greater than the escape velocity. |
Card: 22 / 38 |
Fill in the blank: The gravitational potential is the work done in bringing a unit mass from ___ to a point in the gravitational field. |
Card: 23 / 38 |
How does the Earth's rotation affect the value of gravitational acceleration at the equator? |
Card: 25 / 38 |
The value of 'g' decreases due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation. |
Card: 26 / 38 |
Fill in the blank: The gravitational potential energy system of two point masses separated at a distance r is given by ___ . |
Card: 29 / 38 |
True or False: The escape velocity depends on the mass of the body being projected. |
Card: 31 / 38 |
It must have the same angular velocity as the Earth's rotation and be positioned above the equator. |
Card: 36 / 38 |
Newton's Law of Gravitation states that every two objects in the universe attract each other with a force called gravitational force, which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. |
