Both the earth and the moon are subject to gravitational force of the sun. As observed from the sun, the orbit of the moon:
   
1. will be elliptical.
2. will not be strictly elliptical because the total gravitational force on it is not central.
3. is not elliptical but will necessarily be a closed curve.
4. deviates considerably from being elliptical due to the influence of planets other than the earth.

The earth is an approximate sphere. If the interior contained matter which is not of the same density everywhere, then on the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity:
1. will be directed towards the centre but not the same everywhere.
2. will have the same value everywhere but not directed towards the centre.
3. will be the same everywhere in magnitude directed towards the centre.
4. cannot be zero at any point.

If \(v_e\) is the escape velocity and \(v_0\) is the orbital velocity of a satellite for orbit close to the earth's surface, then these  are related by:
1. \(v_o=v_e\) 2. \(v_e=\sqrt{2v_o}\)
3. \(v_e=\sqrt{2}~v_o\) 4. \(v_o=\sqrt{2}~v_e\)

Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of the Earth but \(3\) times bigger than the Earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is \(g\) and that on the surface of the new planet is \(g',\) then:
1. \(g' = 3g\) 2. \(g' = 9g\)
3. \(g' = \frac{g}{9}\) 4. \(g' = 27g\)
