The intensity of gravitational field at a point situated at earth’s surface is 2.5 N/kg. Calculate the gravitational potential at that point. Given: radius of earth, . 

At a point above the surface of the earth, the gravitational potential is  and the acceleration due to gravity is 6.4 ms^–2. Assuming the mean radius of the earth to be 6400 km, calculate the height of this point above the earth’s surface.   

The mass of the earth is  and its radius is  m. How much work will be done in taking a 10-kg body from the surface of the earth to infinity? What will be the gravitational potential energy of the body on the earth’s surface? If this body falls from infinity to the earth, what will be its velocity when striking the earth? 

The radius of earth is 6400 km and mass is  kg. What will be the gravitational potential energy of a body of 200 kg placed at a height of 600 km from the surface of the earth?

. 

A body of mass m is moved from the surface of the earth to a height h (his not negligible in comparison to radius of earth R_e). Prove that the increase in potential energy is  

Calculate the velocity of projection of a particle so that the maximum height attained by the particle is 0.5 R_e, where R_e is radius of earth. The mass of earth is M_e.

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit at a distance of 2620 km from the surface of the earth. Calculate the orbital velocity and the period of revolution of the satellite. Radius of the earth = 6380 km, mass of the earth =  Nm² kg^–2.  

(i) A satellite is revolving in an orbit close to the earth’s surface. Taking the radius of the earth as  find the value of the orbital speed and the period of revolution of the satellite.   

(ii) What is the relationship of this orbital speed to the velocity required to send a body from the earth’s surface into space, never to return?
