A satellite whose mass is \(m\), is revolving in a circular orbit of radius \(r\), around the earth of mass \(M\). Time of revolution of the satellite is:
1. \(T \propto \frac{r^5}{GM}\)
2. \(T \propto \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}\)
3. \(T \propto \sqrt{\frac{r}{\frac{GM^2}{3}}}\)

3. \(R^n\)
4. \(R^{\left(\frac{n-2}{2}\right)}\)
Time period of a satellite revolving above Earth’s surface at a height equal to \(R\) (the radius of Earth) will be:
(\(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity at Earth’s surface)
1. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 R}{g}}\)
2. \(4 \sqrt{2} \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}\)
3. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}\)
4. \(8 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}\)
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:
1. \(\frac{R}{\left(\frac{gR}{2v^2}-1\right)}\)
2. \(R\left({\frac{gR}{2v^2}-1}\right)\)
3. \(\frac{R}{\left(\frac{2gR}{v^2}-1\right)}\)
4. \(R{\left(\frac{2gR}{v^2}-1\right)}\)
If two planets are at mean distances \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) from the sun and their frequencies are \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) respectively, then:
1. \(n^2_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
2. \(n^2_2d^3_2= n^2_1d^3_1\)
3. \(n_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
4. \(n^2_1d_1= n^2_2d_2\)

2. | Kepler's law of period still holds. |
3. | Kepler's law of areas and period still hold. |
4. | Neither the law of areas nor the law of period still hold. |
The distance of a planet from the sun is \(5\) times the distance between the earth and the sun. The time period of the planet is:
1. | \(5^{3/2}\) years | 2. | \(5^{2/3}\) years |
3. | \(5^{1/3}\) years | 4. | \(5^{1/2}\) years |
Two satellites \(A\) and \(B\) go around the earth in circular orbits at heights of \(R_A ~\text{and}~R_B\) respectively from the surface of the earth. Assuming earth to be a uniform sphere of radius \(R_e\), the ratio of the magnitudes of their orbital velocities is:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B}}{R_{A}}}\)
2. \(\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{R_{A}}{R_{B}}\right)^{2}\)
