Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are initially at rest at infinite distance apart. They are then allowed to move towards each other under mutual gravitational attraction. Their relative velocity of approach at a separation distance $r$ between them is

$A$ star of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is made up of gases. The average gravitational pressure compressing the star due to the gravitational pull of the gases making up the star depends on $R$ as

Suppose the acceleration due to gravity at the earth’s surface is $g \text{ m/s}^2$ and at the surface of the moon it is $g' \text{ m/s}^2$. An $M \text{ kg}$ passenger travels from the earth to the moon in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglecting all other celestial objects, which curve best represents the net gravitational force on the passenger as a function of time?

$A$ spacecraft travels in a straight line from the Earth to the Moon. How will its weight change during this journey?

Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ initially at rest at infinite distance apart move towards each other under gravitational force of attraction. Their relative velocity of approach when they are separated by a distance $r$ is ($G=$ universal gravitational constant.)

Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method,where one monitors a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius $R$ and the parent star has a radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on Earth due to the parent star,then as the exoplanet transits:
