A satellite moves eastwards very near the surface of the earth in the equatorial plane of the earth with speed v0. Another satellite moves at the same height with the same speed in the equatorial plane but westwards. If R is the radius of the earth and ω be its angular speed about its own axis, then the difference in the two time period as observed on the earth will be approximately equal to :
If the radius of the earth is made three times, keeping its mass constant, then the weight of a body on earth's surface will be as compared to its previous value :
3 times
9 times
The time period of a satellite of earth is 5h. If the separation between the earth and the satellite is increased to 4 times the previous value, the new time period will become :
40h
20h
10h
80h
A planet in a distant solar system is 10 times more massive than the earth and its radius is 10 times smaller. Given that the escape velocity from the earth is 11kms-1, the escape velocity from the surface of the planet would be :
110 kms-1
0.11 kms-1
1.1 kms-1
11 kms-1
The radius of earth is 6400 km and the value of g is 10m/s2 . If the weight of 5km body on the equator becomes zero, then the angular speed of earth will be :
A satellite of mass m revolves around the earth of the radius R at a height x from its surface. It g is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth, the orbital speed of the satellite is :
gx
The escape velocity of a body depends upon mass as :
m2
m3
m0
m1
ge and gp are accelerations due to gravity on the surface of earth and a planet respectively. The radius and mass of the planet are double the radius and mass of earth. Then :
ge = gp
ge = 2gp
gp = 2ge
ge = √2gp
Energy required to move a body of mass m from an orbit of radius 2R to 3R is :
