Two planets are in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) and \(4R\) about a star. At a specific time, the two planets and the star are in a straight line. If the period of the closest planet is \(T,\) then the star and planets will again be in a straight line after a minimum time:
Assuming the earth to be a sphere of uniform density, its acceleration due to gravity acting on a body:
1. | increases with increasing altitude. |
2. | increases with increasing depth. |
3. | is independent of the mass of the earth. |
4. | is independent of the mass of the body. |

A particle of mass \(m\) is projected with a velocity, \(v=kV_{e} ~(k<1)\) from the surface of the earth. The maximum height, above the surface, reached by the particle is: (Where \(V_e=\) escape velocity, \(R=\) radius of the earth)

The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is \(v\). The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and the same mass density is:
1. | \(3v\) | 2. | \(4v\) |
3. | \(v\) | 4. | \(2v\) |
