The period of a satellite, in a circular orbit near an equatorial plane, will not depend on
The mass of the planet
The radius of the planet
The mass of the satellite
All the above parameters
What should be the angular speed of earth, so that body lying on equator may appear weightlessness $ (g = 10\,m/{s^2},\,\,R = 6400\,km)$
A particle of mass $M$ is placed at the centre of a uniform spherical shell of mass $2M$ and radius $R$. The gravitational potential on the surface of the shell is
The dependence of acceleration due to gravity $g$ on the distance $r$ from the centre of the earth assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$ of uniform density is as shown figure below
The correct figure is
A particle of mass $M$ is situated at the centre of a spherical shell of same mass and radius $a$. The gravitational potential at a point situated at $\frac {a}{2}$ distance from the centre, will be
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
