Two particles of masses \(M,m\) are separated by a distance \(r.\) Their relative acceleration due to their mutual gravitational forces is (of magnitude):
1. \(\Large\frac{2GMm}{r^2(M+m)}\)             2. \(\Large\frac{GMm}{r^2(M+m)}\)            
3. \(\Large\frac{G(M\text - m)}{r^2}\) 4. \(\Large\frac{G(M\text + m)}{r^2}\)

(\(g=\) acceleration due to gravity at the surface)

1. \(h>\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
2. \(h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
3. \(h<\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
4. Any of the above may be true, depending on the earth's radius

Consider the earth to be a uniform solid sphere of radius \(R,\) and take the acceleration due to gravity to be \(g,\) on its surface. Ignore the rotation of the earth. At what distance from the surface of the earth will the gravitational acceleration fall to \(\Large\frac{g}{9}\small,\) outside?
1. \(\dfrac{R}{3}\) 2. \(3R\)
3. \(\dfrac{2R}{3}\) 4. \(2R\)
