  • A
    $v = \frac{1}{{2R}}\,\sqrt {\frac{1}{{Gm}}} $
  • B
    $v = \sqrt {\frac{{Gm}}{{2R}}} $
  • C
    $v = \frac{1}{2}\,\sqrt {\frac{{Gm}}{R}} $
  • D
    $v = \sqrt {\frac{{4Gm}}{{R}}} $

$A$ body situated on the surface of the earth becomes weightless at the equator when the rotational kinetic energy of the earth reaches a critical value '$K$'. The value of '$K$' is given by [$g$ = gravitational acceleration on earth's surface,$M$ = mass of the earth,and $R$ = radius of the earth].

$A$ spiral galaxy can be approximated as an infinitesimally thin disc of uniform surface mass density located at $z=0$. Two stars $A$ and $B$ start from rest from heights $2z_{0}$ and $z_{0}$ (where $z_{0} \ll$ radial extent of the disc),respectively,and fall towards the disc,cross over to the other side,and execute periodic oscillations. The ratio of the time periods of $A$ and $B$ is

Suppose,the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is $10 \, m/s^2$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0 \, m/s^2$. $A$ $60 \, kg$ passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of the figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?

Four particles,each of mass $M$,move along a circle of radius $R$ under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction as shown in the figure. The speed of each particle is:
