A skylab of mass $m\,kg$ is first launched from the surface of the earth in a circular orbit of radius $2R$ (from the centre of the earth) and then it is shifted from this circular orbit to another circular orbit of radius $3R$ . The minimum energy required to shift the lab from first orbit to the second orbit are
At what altitude will the acceleration due to gravity be $25\% $ of that at the earth’s surface (given radius of earth is $R$) ?
The potential energy of a satellite of mass $m$ and revolving at a height $R_e$ above the surface of earth where $R_e =$ radius of earth, is
Two stars of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are parts of a binary star system. The radii of their orbits are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively, measured from the centre of mass of the system. The magnitude of gravitational force $m_1$ exerts on $m_2$ is
If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential energy of an object of mass $m$ raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius $R$ of the earth, is
