Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | (A) only | 2. | (D) only |
3. | (C) only | 4. | (E) only |
Statement I: | The kinetic energy of a planet is maximum when it is closest to the sun. |
Statement II: | The time taken by a planet to move from the closest position (perihelion) to the farthest position (aphelion) is larger for a planet that is farther from the sun. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
4. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
A planet of mass \(m\) is moving around a star of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) in a circular orbit of radius \(r.\) The star abruptly shrinks to half its radius without any loss of mass. What change will be there in the orbit of the planet?
1. | The planet will escape from the Star. |
2. | The radius of the orbit will increase. |
3. | The radius of the orbit will decrease. |
4. | The radius of the orbit will not change. |
The law of gravitation states that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass \(m_1\) \(m_2\) is given by:
\(F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\)
\(G\) (gravitational constant) \(=7\times 10^{-11}~\text{N-m}^2\text{kg}^{-2}\)
\(r\) (distance between the two bodies) in the case of the Earth and Moon \(=4\times 10^8~\text{m}\)
\(m_1~(\text{Earth})=6\times 10^{24}~\text{kg}\)
\(m_2~(\text{Moon})=7\times 10^{22}~\text{kg}\)
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon?
1. \(1.8375 \times 10^{19}~\text{N}\)
2. \(1.8375 \times 10^{20}~\text{N}\)
3. \(1.8375 \times 10^{25}~\text{N}\)
4. \(1.8375 \times 10^{26}~\text{N}\)
An artificial satellite revolves around a planet for which gravitational force \((F)\) varies with the distance \(r\) from its centre as \(F \propto r^{2}.\) If \(v_0\) is its orbital speed, then:
1. | \(v_{0} \propto r^{-1/2}\) | 2. | \(v_{0} \propto r^{3/2}\) |
3. | \(v_{0} \propto r^{-3/2}\) | 4. | \(v_{0} \propto r\) |
(a) | The universal law of gravitation is an assumption or hypothesis. |
