A satellite A of mass m is at a distance r from the surface of the earth. Another satellite B of mass 2 m is at a distance of 2 r from the earth's surface. Their time periods are in the ratio of
1 : 2
1 : 6
1 : 16
1 : 2√2

The largest and the shortest distance of the earth from the sun are r1 and r2. Its distance from the sun when it is perpendicular to the major axis of the orbit drawn from the sun is
The escape velocity of a sphere of mass m is given by (G = universal gravitational constant, Me = mass of earth and Re = radius of earth)
A body of mass m is placed on earth's surface. It is then taken from earth's surface to a height h = 3R, then the change in gravitational potential energy is
mgh/R
2/3 mgR
3/4 mgR
mgR/2
If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to 1/R (and not as 1/R2), where R is separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed v proportional to
1/R2
R0
R
1/R
