The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance $r$ from the centre is $L.$ If the distance is increased to $4r$ then the new angular momentum will be
$L$
$2L$
$L/2$
$4L$
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)$
A spherical part of radius $R/2$ is excavated from the asteroid of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The gravitational acceleration at a point on the surface of the asteroid just above the excavation is
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
A rocket of mass $M$ is launched vertically from the surface of the earth with an initial speed $V$. Assuming the radius of the earth to be $R$ and negligible air resistance, the maximum height attained by the rocket above the surface of the earth is
The variation of acceleration due to gravity $g$ with distance $d$ from centre of the earth is best represented by ($R =$ Earth's radius)
