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)

1.		2.
3.		4.

A spherical planet has a mass \(M_p\) and diameter \(D_p\)${\mathrm{}}_{}$. A particle of mass \(m\) falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience acceleration due to gravity equal to:

A particle of mass M is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of the same mass and radius a. The gravitational potential at a point situated at a / 2 distance from the centre, will be:

1. $-\frac{3GM}{a}$

2. $-\frac{2GM}{a}$

3. $-\frac{GM}{a}$

4. $-\frac{4GM}{a}$

The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet \(m\) about the sun \({S}.\) The shaded area \(SCD\) is twice the shaded area \(SAB.\) If \(t_1\) is the time for the planet to move from \(C\) to \(D\) and \(t_2\) is the time to move from \(A\) to \(B,\) then:
                     

Two satellites of Earth, \(S_1\)_, and \(S_2\), are moving in the same orbit. The mass of \(S_1\) is four times the mass of \(S_2\). Which one of the following statements is true?

The earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius \(R\). A platform is arranged at a height \(R\) from the surface of the earth. The escape velocity of a body from this platform is \(fv_e\), where \(v_e\) is its escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The value of \(f\) is:
1. \(\sqrt{2}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}\)

A body weighs \(200\) N on the surface of the earth. How much will it weigh halfway down the centre of the earth?
