The escape velocity of a body on the surface of the earth is 11.2 km/s. If the earth's mass increases to twice its present value and the radius of the earth becomes half, the escape velocity would become
44.8 km/s
22.4 km/s
11.2 km/s (remain unchanged)
5.6 km/s
The escape velocity from earth is 11.2 km/s. If a body is to be projected in a direction making an angle 45o to the vertical, then the escape velocity is
11.2 x 2 km/s
11.2 km/s
11.2/√2 km/s
11.2√2 km/s
Two spheres of masses m and M are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is F. The space around the masses is now filled with a liquid of specific gravity 3. The gravitational force will now be
3F
F
A planet is moving in elliptical orbit around the sun. If T, U, E and L stand for its kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, total energy and magnitude of angular momentum about the centre of force, which of the following is correct?
T is conserved
U is always positive
E is always negative
L is conserved but direction of vector L changes continuously
