A ball is dropped from a satellite revolving around the earth at a height of 120 km. The ball will
continue to move with the same speed along a straight line tangentially to the satellite at that time.
continue to move with the same speed along the original orbit of the satellite
fall down to earth gradually

The mean radius of earth is R, its angular speed on its own axis is ω and the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface is g. What will be the radius of the orbit of a geostationary satellite?
The figure shows elliptical orbit of a planet m about the sun S. The shaded area SCD is twice the shaded area SAB. If t1 is the time for the planet to move from C to D and t2 is the time to move from A to B, then
t1 > t2
t1 = 4t2
t1 = 2t2
t1 = t2
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/√2 km/s
11.2√2 km/s
The acceleration due to gravity on the planet A is 9 times the acceleration due to gravity on planet B, A man jumps to a height of 2 m on the surface of A. What is the height of jump by the same person on the planet B ?
