    The low-velocity zone (LVZ) occurs close to the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere in the upper mantle.

    1. Hi krishna kumar
      The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. We call the gravitational force attractive because it always tries to pull masses together, it never pushes them apart.

  4. Sir, Where the orbital velocity is applied?

    1. Initially, satellites use an elliptical path. Rocket motors onboard the satellite are manipulated by ground control in order to correct the satellite’s ideal path, which is circular. If the satellite is fired at its apogee and thrust is applied in the flight path’s direction, the orbit becomes more circular.

    1. Hi Krishna Kumar

      There is a difference between the geostationary and geosynchronous orbits. We should note that while other orbits may be many, there is ONLY ONE Equatorial orbit, i.e. the orbit which is directly above the earth’s equator.

    1. The Galaxy is moving through space. Many astronomers believe the Milky Way is moving at approximately 600 km/s relative to the observed locations of other nearby galaxies.

  9. who find out the escape velocity?

    1. The concept comes directly from Newton’s law of gravitation, discussed in the Principia Mathematica.

    in which field we use orbital velocity

    1. Orbital mechanics focuses on spacecraft trajectories, including orbital maneuvers, orbit plane changes, and interplanetary transfers, and is used by mission planners to predict the results of propulsive maneuvers.

  11. what is the difference between orbital velocity and escape velocity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Orbital velocity is the speed that an object must maintain in order to orbit another object. Escape velocity is the speed at which an object would break orbit. Escape velocity must be square-root of 2 times larger than the orbital velocity in order to break orbit.

    state the universal law of gravitation?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

  13. Hi Sir
    Define gravitation constant. give its value,unit, and dimensional formula?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The gravitational constant, also known as the universal gravitational constant, or as Newton's constant, denoted by the letter G, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational effects in Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. Its measured value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2.[1]

    what is escape speed? option an expression for it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The speed an object must reach to escape the pull of gravitation exerted by another object. Note: To overcome the gravitation of the Earth and place an artificial satellite in orbit, a rocket must reach a speed of about 25,000 miles per hour, or about seven miles per second.

  15. Hello sir
    Define gravitational filed intensity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The gravitational field intensity (EG) or (g) is the force on a unit mass at a point in the field. Since the force (F) on a body of mass m in a gravitational field of a body of mass M = GMm/r2 you can see that the force per unit mass is given by F/m.

    Differentiate between inertial mass and gravitational mass?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) Inertial mass. This is mainly defined by Newton's law, the all-too-famous F = ma, which states that when a force F is applied to an object, it will accelerate proportionally, and that constant of proportion is the mass of that object. In very concrete terms, to determine the inertial mass, you apply a force of F Newtons to an object, measure the acceleration in m/s2, and F/a will give you the inertial mass m in kilograms.

      2) Gravitational mass. This is defined by the force of gravitation, which states that there is a gravitational force between any pair of objects, which is given by

      F = G m1 m2/r2

      where G is the universal gravitational constant

    obtain an expression for the gravitational potential at a point?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The general expression for gravitational potential energy arises from the law of gravity and is equal to the work done against gravity to bring a mass to a given point in space

    what is orbital velocity?obtain an expression for it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Orbital velocity is the velocity at which a body revolves around the other body. Objects that travel in uniform circular motion around the Earth are called to be in orbit. The velocity of this orbit depends on the distance between the object and the center of the earth.

    Define gravitational potential energy?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

  22. Are astronauts weightless of the moon?

    ReplyDelete
  23. If you asked anyone why the astronauts are weightless in space, they would probably all say 'because there isn't any gravity.
