A rocket of mass \(M\) is launched vertically from the surface of the earth with an initial speed \(v\). Assuming the radius of the earth to be \(R\) and negligible air resistance, the maximum height attained by the rocket above the surface of the earth is:
1. \(\frac{R}{\left(\frac{gR}{2v^2}-1\right)}\)
2. \(R\left({\frac{gR}{2v^2}-1}\right)\)
3. \(\frac{R}{\left(\frac{2gR}{v^2}-1\right)}\)
4. \(R{\left(\frac{2gR}{v^2}-1\right)}\)

2. \(n^2_2d^3_2= n^2_1d^3_1\)
3. \(n_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)

Suppose the law of gravitational attraction suddenly changes and becomes an inverse cube law i.e.\(,F\propto \frac{1}{r^3}\) but the force still remains a central force, then:
1. Kepler's law of areas still holds.
2. Kepler's law of period still holds.
3. Kepler's law of areas and period still hold.
4. Neither the law of areas nor the law of period still hold.

Two satellites \(A\) and \(B\) go around the earth in circular orbits at heights of \(R_A ~\text{and}~R_B\) respectively from the surface of the earth. Assuming earth to be a uniform sphere of radius \(R_e\), the ratio of the magnitudes of their orbital velocities is:

1. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B}}{R_{A}}}\) 2. \(\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}}\) 4. \(\left(\frac{R_{A}}{R_{B}}\right)^{2}\)
