Gravitational potential of the body of mass m at a height h from surface of earth of radius R is (Take g = acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface)
- g(R + h )
- g ( R + h )
g ( R + H )
g ( R - h )
Height of geostationary satellite is

22000 km
28000 km
36000 km
Assertion: Total energy is conserved in moving a satellite to higher orbit.
Reason: Sum of change in PE and KE is same in magnitude and opposite in nature.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: The difference in the value of acceleration due to gravity at pole and equator is proportional to square of angular velocity of earth.
Reason: The value of acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equator and maximum at the pole.

Assertion: A man in a closed cabin which is falling freely does not experience gravity.
Reason: Inertial and gravitational mass have equivalence.
