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
$L$
$2L$
$L/2$
$4L$
The angular speed of earth in $rad/s$, so that bodies on equator may appear weightless is : [Use $g = 10\, m/s^2$ and the radius of earth $= 6.4 \times 10^3\, km$]
Suppose the gravitational force varies inversely as the $n^{th}$ power of the distance. Then, the time period of a planet in circular orbit of radius $R$ around the sun will be proportional to
A satellite in force free space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust at a rate of $\frac{d M}{d t}=\alpha v$ where $M$ is mass and $v$ is the speed of satellite and $\alpha$ is a constant. The acceleration of satellite is
If the radius of the earth were to shrink by $1\%$ its mass remaining the same, the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface would
A body of mass $m$ is situated at distance $4R_e$ above the Earth's surface, where $R_e$ is the radius of Earth how much minimum energy be given to the body so that it may escape
