Q. A satellite of mass m goes around the earth along a circular path of radius r (from the center of Earth), let me is the mass of the earth and R, its radius. Then the linear speed of the satellite depends on:

The gravitational force between two point masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ at separation r is given by $F = k \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ The constant k

Q. Assertion: The value of ‘g’ decreases as height increases from the surface of Earth.
Reason: ‘g’ depends on the mass of Earth.
