Two satellites of Earth, \(S_1\)_, and \(S_2\), are moving in the same orbit. The mass of \(S_1\) is four times the mass of \(S_2\). Which one of the following statements is true?

Two astronauts are floating in a gravity free space after having lost contact with their spaceship. The two will:

The centripetal force acting on a satellite orbiting around the earth and the gravitational force of the earth acting on the satellite, both are equal to \(F\). The net force on the satellite is:
1. zero
2. \(F\)
3. \(F\sqrt{2}\)
4. \(2F\)

A planet is revolving around a massive star in a circular orbit of radius \(R\). If the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star is inversely proportional to \(R^3,\) then the time period of revolution \(T\) is proportional to:
1. \(R^5\)
2. \(R^3\)
3. \(R^2\)
4. \(R\)

If the speed of an artificial satellite revolving around the earth in a circular orbit be \(2 \over 3\) of the escape velocity from the surface of earth then its altitude above the surface of the earth is

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. \(\left(\frac{3 \pi}{2 ρG}\right)^{3 / 2}\)

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. \(T^2\propto \frac{1}{U^{2}}\)
