Choose the correct statement from the following.

The radius of the orbit of a geostationary satellite depends upon -

(1) Mass of the satellite, its time period and the gravitational constant

(2) Mass of the satellite, mass of the earth and the gravitational constant

(3) Mass of the earth, the mass of the satellite, time period of the satellite and the gravitational constant

(4) Mass of the earth, time period of the satellite and the gravitational constant

A planet moves around the sun. At a given point P, it is closest from the sun at a distance $d_1$ and has a speed $v_1$. At another point Q,  when  it is farthest from the sun at a distance $d_2$, its speed will be

(1)$\frac{{d_1}^2{v}_1}{{d_2}^2}$                                             

(2)$\frac{d_2{v}_1}{d_1}$

(3)$\frac{d_1{v}_1}{d_2}$                                               

(4)$\frac{{d_2}^2{v}_1}{{d_1}^2}$

A satellite is moving around the earth with speed v in a circular orbit of radius r. If the orbit radius is decreased by 1%, its speed will 

(1) Increase by 1%                       

(2) Increase by 0.5%

(3) Decrease by 1%                     

(4) Decrease by 0.5%

Orbital velocity of an artificial satellite does not depend upon 

(1) Mass of the earth

(2) Mass of the satellite

The orbital velocity of Earth's satellite near the surface is 7 km/s. When the radius of the orbit is 4 times more than that of Earth's radius, then orbital velocity in that orbit is:

(1) 3.5 km/s                         

(2) 7 km/s

(3) 72 km/s                           

(4) 14 km/s

(2) 1/2

(3) 1/4                           

(4) 1/5

Two identical satellites are at R and 7R away from earth surface, the wrong statement is (R = Radius of earth)

(1) Ratio of total energy will be 4

(2) Ratio of kinetic energies will be 4

(3) Ratio of potential energies will be 4

(4) Ratio of total energy will be 4 but ratio of potential and kinetic energies will be 2
