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 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
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
Energy required to move a body of mass m from an orbit of radius 2R to 3R is :
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
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 weight of a body at earth surface is 700 g wt. What will be its weight on a planet whose mass is 1/7 that of earth and radius half that of earth?
300 g-wt
200 g-wt
400 g-wt
57.1 g-wt
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
The escape velocity of a body depends upon mass as :
m2
m3
m0
m1
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?

-2Gm
-4Gm
-8 Gm
