Imagine a light planet revolving around a very massive star in a circular orbit of radius $R$ with a period of revolution $T$. If the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star is proportional to $R^{-5/2}$,then ${T^2}$ is proportional to:

The Earth moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit as shown in the figure. The ratio $OA/OB = x$. The ratio of the speed of the Earth at $B$ to that at $A$ is nearly

$Assertion$ : An astronaut experiences weightlessness in a space satellite.

Consider a star of mass $m_2 \ kg$ revolving in a circular orbit around another star of mass $m_1 \ kg$ with $m_1 \gg m_2$. The heavier star slowly acquires mass from the lighter star at a constant rate of $\gamma \ kg/s$. In this transfer process,there is no other loss of mass. If the separation between the centers of the stars is $r$,then its relative rate of change $\frac{1}{r} \frac{dr}{dt} \ (\text{in } s^{-1})$ is given by:

$A$ satellite of mass $\frac{M}{2}$ is revolving around the Earth in a circular orbit at a height of $\frac{R}{3}$ from the Earth's surface. The angular momentum of the satellite is $M \sqrt{\frac{GMR}{x}}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . ,where $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the Earth,respectively.
