If $g_E$ and $g_M$ are the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the earth and the moon respectively and if Millikan's oil drop experiment could be performed on the two surfaces,one will find the ratio (electronic charge on the moon / electronic charge on the earth) to be

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\frac{g_E}{g_M}$
  • D
    $\frac{g_M}{g_E}$

If the radius of the earth is $6347 \, km$,then what will be the difference between the acceleration of free fall and the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface?

The acceleration due to gravity is $g$ at a point distant $r$ from the centre of the Earth of radius $R$. If $r < R$,then:

The radius of the Moon is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the Earth,and its mass is $\frac{1}{80}$ times that of the Earth. If the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is $g$,what is the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon?

The density of a planet is $3$ times that of Earth and its radius is $2.5$ times that of Earth. If $g_p$ and $g_e$ represent the acceleration due to gravity on the planet and Earth respectively, then the ratio of $g_p$ to $g_e$ is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ $A$ pendulum clock when taken to Mount Everest becomes fast.
Reason $R:$ The value of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity) is less at Mount Everest than its value on the surface of earth.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
