The relation between escape velocity ($v_e$) and orbital velocity ($v_o$) for a satellite near the surface of Earth is:

The gravitational potential energy of a mass $m$ at a distance $r$ ($r > R$) from the center of Earth of mass $M$ is:

At what depth $d$ below the Earth's surface does acceleration due to gravity become half of its value at the surface ($g/2$)?

If a planet has mass twice that of Earth and radius twice that of Earth, the ratio of escape velocity on that planet to that on Earth is:

Total mechanical energy of a satellite of mass $m$ revolving close to Earth's surface in a circular orbit of radius $R$ is:

An astronaut inside an orbiting space station experiences weightlessness because:

The maximum height reached by a projectile projected vertically upwards with speed equal to half the escape velocity ($v = \frac{v_e}{2}$) from Earth's surface is:
