QAIPM-2012-Ph-1746: NEET 2012 Physics - Class 11 AIPM-2012-Ph-1746 Solution: A spherical planet has a mass \(M_P\) and diameter \(D_P\). A…

A spherical planet has a mass MPM_P and diameter DPD_P. A particle of mass m falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience an acceleration due to gravity, equal to

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 4GMPDP2\frac{4GM_P}{D_P^2}
  • B GMPmDP2\frac{GM_P m}{D_P^2}
  • C GMPDP2\frac{GM_P}{D_P^2}
  • D 4GMPmDP2\frac{4GM_P m}{D_P^2}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Gravitational attraction force on particle B, F g = G M P m ( D P / 2 ) 2 Acceleration of particle due to gravity a = F g m = 4 G M P D P 2
