The acceleration due to gravity, \(g\), near a spherically symmetric planet's surface decreases with height, \(h\) according to the relation:
\(g(h)= g_s-k\cdot h\), where \(h\ll\) the radius of the planet.
The escape speed from the planet's surface is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{g_s}{2\sqrt k}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{g_s}{\sqrt k}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{2g_s}{\sqrt k}\) | 4. | \(g_s\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{k}} \) |

If a particle is projected vertically upward with a speed \(u,\) and rises to a maximum altitude \(h\) above the earth's surface then:
(\(g=\) 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 |

The subscripts refer to the quantity measured at the perihelion \((P)\) or aphelion \((A)\): \(v_P\) is the speed at perihelion, \(K_A\) is the kinetic energy at aphelion, etc. Then,
1. \(K_A r^2_A = K_Pr^2_P\)
2. \(v_A r_A = v_P~r_P\)
3. \(U_Ar_A = U_P r_P\)
