Two planets are revolving around the earth with velocities v₁ and v₂ and in radii r₁ and r₂ ( r₁ > r₂ ) respectively. Then :

• v₁ = v₂

• v₁ > v₂

• v₁ < v₂

• $\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_1}{{\mathrm{r}}_1} =\frac{{\mathrm{v}}_2}{{\mathrm{r}}_2}$

Earth is revolving around the sun. If the distance of the earth from the sun is reduced to 1/4th of the present distance then the length of present day will be reduced by :

• $\frac{1}{4}$

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $\frac{1}{8}$

• $\frac{1}{6}$

There are two planets and the ratio of radius of the two planets is K but ratio of acceleration due to gravity of both planets is g. What will be the ratio of their escape velocity ?

Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of earth but it is 3 times bigger than the earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is g and that on the surface of the new planet is g', then

• g' = 3g

• $\mathrm{g}\text{'} = \frac{\mathrm{g}}{9}$

• g' = 9g

• g' = 27g

Two satellites of earth, S₁ and S₂ are moving in the same orbit. The mass of S₁ is four times the mass of S₂. Which one of the following statements is true ?

A launching vehicle carrying an artificial satellite of mass m is set for launch on the surface of the earth of mass M and radius R.
