High-Yield Trend
Questions 9 MCQs
A body projected vertically from the earth reaches a height equal to earth’s radius before returning to the earth. The power exerted by the gravitational force:
| 1. | is greatest at the instant just before the body hits the earth. |
| 2. | remains constant throughout. |
| 3. | is greatest at the instant just after the body is projected. |
| 4. | is greatest at the highest position of the body. |
The height at which the weight of a body becomes of its weight on the surface of the earth (radius ) is:
