Mass of a planet is 10 times that of earth and radius is 2 times that of earth. If at the earth, the escape velocity of a satellite is Ves(e), then escape. velocity at the planet is :

  • 5ves(e)

  • 5ves(e)

  • 25 ves(e)

  • 10 ves(e)


A.

5ves(e)

ves(e) = 2GMeRe  ------------------ (1)

   ves=2GMpRp

Here: Mp = 10 Me, R= 2Re

ves(p) = 2G×10 Me2Re  -----------------(2)

From eqs (1) and (2),we have 

ves(e)ves(p) = 2GMeRe ×  2Re2G × 10Me

ves(p) = 5  ves(e)

A satellite is in a circular orbit round the earth at an altitude R above the earth's surface,where R is the radius of the earth. If g is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth the speed of the satellite is

  • 2Rg

  • Rg

  • Rg/2

  • Rg/4

If the change in the value of g at a height h above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth x below in surface, then

  • x = h2

  • x = 0.5 h

  • x = 2h
