A satellite can be in a geostationary orbit around a planet at a distance $r$ from the centre of the planet. If the angular velocity of the planet about its axis doubles, a satellite can now be in a geostationary orbit around the planet if its distance from the centre of the planet is
$\frac{r}{2}$
$\frac{r}{{2\sqrt 2 }}$
$\frac{r}{{{{\left( 4 \right)}^{1/3}}}}$
$\frac{r}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{1/3}}}}$
A planet orbits the sun in an elliptical path as shown in the figure. Let $v_P$ and $v_A$ be speed of the planet when at perihelion and aphelion respectively. Which of the following relations is correct ?
What should be the angular speed of earth, so that body lying on equator may appear weightlessness $ (g = 10\,m/{s^2},\,\,R = 6400\,km)$
When a body is taken from pole to the equator its weight
The magnitudes of gravitational field at distance $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then
A spherical planet far out in space has a mass ${M_0}$ and diameter ${D_0}$. A particle of mass m falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience an acceleration due to gravity which is equal to
