What is the variation in acceleration due to gravity with altitude?

Variation in acceleration due to gravity due to altitude is given by, gh = g\(\left(\frac{R}{R + h}\right)^2\) where, gh = acceleration due to gravity of an object placed at h altitude  g = acceleration...

Discuss the variation of acceleration due to gravity at poles and equator due to latitude of the Earth.

1. Effective acceleration due to gravity at P is given as, g’ = g – Rω2cos2θ. 2. As the value of θ increases, cos θ decreases. Therefore g’ will increase as we...

Find the altitude at which the acceleration due to gravity is 25% of that at the surface of the Earth.

Given: gh = 25% of g = \(\frac{25}{100}\times\,g=\frac{g}{4}\), R = 6400 km = 6.4 × 106 m To find: Height (h) Formula: gh = \(g(\frac{R}{R+h})^2\) Calculation: From formula, \(\frac{g}{4}=g(\frac{R}{R+h})^2\) (R + h)2 = 4R2 R + h = 2R ∴ h = 2R – R ∴ h...

Derive the expression for the critical velocity of a satellite revolving close to the surface of the Earth in terms of acceleration due to gravity.

1. When the satellite is revolving close to the surface of the Earth, the height is very small as compared to the radius of the Earth. 2. Hence the height can...
