At the surface of a certain planet, acceleration due to gravity is one-quarter of that on earth. If a brass ball is transported to this planet, then which one of the following statements is not correct?
1. | The mass of the brass ball on this planet is a quarter of its mass as measured on earth |
2. | The weight of the brass ball on this planet is a quarter of the weight as measured on earth |
3. | The brass ball has the same mass on the other planet as on earth |
4. | The brass ball has the same volume on the other planet as on earth |
Weight of 1 kg becomes 1/6 kg on moon. If radius of moon is , then the mass of moon will be -
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
Let g be the acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface and K be the rotational kinetic energy of the earth. Suppose the earth's radius decreases by 2% keeping all other quantities same, then
(1) g decreases by 2% and K decreases by 4%
(2) g decreases by 4% and K increases by 2%
(3) g increases by 4% and K increases by 4%
(4) g decreases by 4% and K increases by 4%
The distance between centre of the earth and moon is 384000 km. If the mass of the earth is and . The speed of the moon is nearly -
(a) 1 km/sec (b) 4 km/sec
(c) 8 km/sec (d) 11.2 km/sec
A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of a planet of radius \(R\) with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity for that planet. The maximum height attained by the body is:
1. \(\frac{R}{3}\)
2. \(\frac{R}{2}\)
3. \(\frac{R}{4}\)
4. \(\frac{R}{5}\)
A satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius \(R\) around the Earth while a second satellite is launched into an orbit of radius \(1.02~\text{R}\). The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites is:
1. | \(0.7\) | 2. | \(1.0\) |
3. | \(1.5\) | 4. | \(3\) |
