The time period of a satellite of earth is 5 hours. If the separation between the earth and the satellite will satellite is increased to four times the previous value, the new time period of the satellite will be
A body of mass 'M' and radius 'R', situated on the surface of the earth becomes weightless at its equator when the rotational kinetic energy of the earth reaches a critical value 'K'. The value of 'K' is given by [Assume the earth as a solid sphere, g = gravitational acceleration on the earth's surfacde]
The mass of a spherical planet is 4 times the mass of the earth, but its radius (R) is same as that of the earth. How much work is done is lifting a body of mass 5 kg through a distance of 2 m on the planet ? (g = 10 ms$$^{-2}$$)
The radius of a planet is twice the radius of the earth. Both have almost equal average mass densities. If '$$V_P$$' and '$$V_E$$' are escape velocities of the planet and the earth respectively, then
