In planetary motion, the areal velocity of the position vector of a planet depends on the angular velocity \((\omega)\) and the distance of the planet from the sun \((r)\). The correct relation for areal velocity is:
1. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r\)
2. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega^2 r\)
3. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \omega r^2\)
4. \(\frac{dA}{dt}\propto \sqrt{\omega r}\)
If \(A\) is the areal velocity of a planet of mass \(M,\) then its angular momentum is:
1. | \(\frac{M}{A}\) | 2. | \(2MA\) |
3. | \(A^2M\) | 4. | \(AM^2\) |
Magnitude of potential energy (\(U\)) and time period (\(T\)) of a satellite are related to each other as:
1. \(T^2\propto \frac{1}{U^{3}}\)
2. \(T\propto \frac{1}{U^{3}}\)
3. \(T^2\propto U^3\)
4. \(T^2\propto \frac{1}{U^{2}}\)
A point \(P\) lies on the axis of a ring of mass \(M\) and radius \(a\) at a distance \(a\) from its centre \(C\). A small particle starts from \(P\) and reaches \(C\) under gravitational attraction. Its speed at \(C\) will be:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a}}\)
2. \(\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a} \left(\sqrt{2} - 1\right)}\)

A projectile is fired upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity \(kv_e\) where \(v_e\) is the escape velocity and \(k<1\). If \(r\) is the maximum distance from the center of the earth to which it rises and \(R\) is the radius of the earth, then \(r\) equals:
1. \(\frac{R}{k^2}\)
2. \(\frac{R}{1-k^2}\)
3. \(\frac{2R}{1-k^2}\)
4. \(\frac{2R}{1+k^2}\)
A satellite is moving very close to a planet of density \(\rho.\) The time period of the satellite is:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{ρG}}\)
2. \(\left(\frac{3 \pi}{ρG}\right)^{3 / 2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{2 ρG}}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2 ρG}\right)^{3 / 2}\)
1. | \(3.5\) | 2. | \(5.9\) |
3. | \(16.3\) | 4. | \(110.8\) |
The escape velocity for a rocket from the earth is \(11.2\) km/s. Its value on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is double that on the earth and the diameter of the planet is twice that of the earth (in km/s) will be:
1. | \(11.2\) | 2. | \(5.6\) |
3. | \(22.4\) | 4. | \(53.6\) |
For the moon to cease as the earth's satellite, its orbital velocity has to be increased by a factor of:
1. | \(2\) | 2. | \(\sqrt{2}\) |
3. | \(1/\sqrt{2}\) | 4. | \(4\) |
