A geo-stationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $6 R$ above the surface of earth, $R$ being the radius of earth. The time period of another satellite at a height of $2.5 R$ from the surface of earth is
$10\, hr$
$(6/\sqrt 2 )\,hr$
$6\, hr$
$6\sqrt 2 \,hr$
The distance of neptune and saturn from the sun is nearly $10^{13}$ and $10^{12}$ meter respectively. Assuming that they move in circular orbits, their periodic times will be in the ratio
If the acceleration due to gravity at earth is $'g'$ and mass of earth is $80$ times that of moon and radius of earth is $4$ times that of moon, the value of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of moon will be
Given that mass of the earth is $M$ and its radius is $R$. A body is dropped from a height equal to the radius of the earth above the surface of the earth. When it reaches the ground its velocity will be
If the radius of the earth were shrink by $1\%$ and its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would
A tunnel is dug along a diameter of the earth. If $M_e$ and $R_e$ are the mass and radius of the earth respectively. Then the force on a particle of mass $'m'$ placed in the tunnel at a distance $r$ from the centre is
