The escape velocity from earth is 11.2 km per sec. If a body is to be projected in a direction making an angle 45° to the vertical, then the escape velocity is
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 |

What would be the duration of the year if the distance between the earth and the sun gets doubled? |
Answer |
If escape velocity from the earth’s surface is 11.2 km/sec. then escape velocity from a planet of mass same as that of earth but radius one fourth as that of earth is |
Answer |
If ‘r’ represents the radius of the orbit of a satellite of mass ‘m’ moving round a planet of mass ‘M’, the velocity of the satellite is given by |
Answer |
When the planet comes nearer the sun moves |
Answer |
Kepler’s second law regarding constancy of arial velocity of a planet is a consequence of the law of conservation of |
Answer |
The relation between escape velocity and orbit velocity is |
Answer |
A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of 6R above the surface of the earth, R being the radius of the earth. The time period of another satellite at a height of 2.5 R from the surface of earth is |
Answer |
The distance of Neptune and Saturn from the sun are nearly 1013 m and 1012 m respectively. Assuming that they move in circular orbits, their periodic times would be in the ratio of |
Answer |
Imagine a light planet revolving around a very massive star in a circular orbit of radius R with a period of revolution T. If the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star is proportional to R-5/2 then |
