If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to \(\frac{1}{R}\) (and not as ) where \(R\) is the separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed v proportional to:
1.
2.
3.
4. \(1/R\)
For the moon to cease as the earth's satellite, its orbital velocity has to be increased by a factor of -
1. | 2 | 2. | \(\sqrt{2}\) |
3. | \(1/\sqrt{2}\) | 4. | 4 |
Rohini satellite is at a height of 500 km and Insat-B is at a height of 3600 km from the surface of the earth. The relation between their orbital velocity (\(v_R,~v_i\)) is:
1. \(v_R>v_i\)
2. \(v_R<v_i\)
3. \(v_R=v_i\)
4. No relation
Two satellites A and B go around the earth in circular orbits at heights of respectively from the surface of the earth. Assuming earth to be a uniform sphere of radius , the ratio of the magnitudes of their orbital velocities is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The radii of the circular orbits of two satellites A and B of the earth are \(4R\) and \(R,\) respectively. If the speed of satellite A is \(3v,\) then the speed of satellite B will be:
1. | \(3v/4\) | 2. | \(6v\) |
3. | \(12v\) | 4. | \(3v/2\) |
