An infinity number of point masses each equal to m are placed at x = 1, x = 2, x = 4, x = 8, ..... What is the total gravitational potential at x - 0?
-Gm
-2Gm
-4Gm
-8 Gm
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 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 :
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 :
The time period of an earth satellite in circular orbit is independent of :
both the mass and radius of the orbit
neither the mass of the satellite nor the radius of its orbit
the mass of the satellite
radius of its orbit
Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the nth power of distance. Then the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius R around the sun will be proportional to :
Rn
Energy required to move a body of mass m from an orbit of radius 2R to 3R is :
A planet of mass M is revolving round the sun of mass Ms in an elliptical orbit. The maximum and minimum distance of the planet from sun are r1 and r2 respectively. Then :
The escape velocity of a body depends upon mass as :
m2
m3
m0
m1
The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth is 11km/s. If the body is projected at an angle of 45° with the vertical, the escape velocity will be :
11km/s
11/√2 m/s
11√2 km/s
22 km/s
