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 :
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 eath 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 escape velocity of a body depends upon mass as :
m2
m3
m0
m1
Energy required to move a body of mass m from an orbit of radius 2R to 3R is :
Average density of the earth:
is directly proportional to g
is inversely proportional to g
does not depend on g
is a complex function of g
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
If suddenly the gravitational force of attraction between earth and a satellite revolving around it becomes zero, then the satellite will :
become stationary in its orbit
move towards the earth
continue to move in its orbit with same velocity
move tangentially to the original orbit with the same velocity
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 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
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
