If the mass of the sun were ten times smaller and the universal gravitational constant were ten times larger in magnitude, which of the following statements would not be correct?
1. | Raindrops would drop faster. |
2. | Walking on the ground would become more difficult. |
3. | Time period of a simple pendulum on the earth would decrease. |
4. | Acceleration due to gravity \((g)\) on earth would not change. |
The kinetic energies of a planet in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, at positions \(A,B~\text{and}~C\) are \(K_A, K_B~\text{and}~K_C\) respectively. \(AC\) is the major axis and \(SB\) is perpendicular to \(AC\) at the position of the Sun \(S\), as shown in the figure. Then:
1. | \(K_A <K_B< K_C\) | 2. | \(K_A >K_B> K_C\) |
3. | \(K_B <K_A< K_C\) | 4. | \(K_B >K_A> K_C\) |
Dependence of intensity of gravitational field \((\mathrm{E})\) of the earth with distance \((\mathrm{r})\) from the centre of the earth is correctly represented by: (where \(\mathrm{R}\) is the radius of the earth)

A body of mass \(m\) is taken from the Earth’s surface to the height equal to twice the radius \((R)\) of the Earth. The change in potential energy of the body will be:
