What will be the acceleration due to gravity at height $h$ if $h >> R$. Where $R$ is radius of earth and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth
  • $\frac{g}{{{{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{R}} \right)}^2}}}$
  • B
    $g\left( {1 - \frac{{2h}}{R}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{g}{{{{\left( {1 - \frac{h}{R}} \right)}^2}}}$
  • D
    $g\left( {1 - \frac{h}{R}} \right)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{g}{{{{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{R}} \right)}^2}}}$
a
(a)$g' = g\,{\left( {\frac{R}{{R + h}}} \right)^2} = \frac{g}{{{{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{R}} \right)}^2}}}$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : Body $'P'$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $'u'$ has head-on collision elastically with another body $'Q'$ having mass $'m'$ initially at rest. If $m< < M,$ body $'Q'$ will have a maximum speed equal to $'2u'$ after collision.

Reason $R$ : During elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Three containers $\mathrm{C}_{1}, \mathrm{C}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ have water at different temperatures. The table below shows the final temperature $T$ when different amounts of water (given in litres) are taken from each containers and mixed (assume no loss of heat during the process)

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from $A$ to $B$, the force it applies on the wire is
A small spherical monoatomic ideal gas bubble $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ is trapped inside a liquid of density $\rho_{\ell}$ (see figure). Assume that the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid. The bubble contains n moles of gas.
