Q103 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Physics

At what height from the surface of earth the gravitation potential and the value of g are -5.4×107 J kg-2 and 6.0 m s-2 respectively? Take the radius of earth as 6400 km:

  • Correct answer
    A
    2600 km
  • B
    1600 km
  • C
    1400 km
  • D
    2000 km

Solution

V=GMR+h=-5.4×107

g=GMR+h2=6

∴5.46×107=R+h

∴9×106=6.4×106+h

∴h=2600 km

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
