Kabir was feeling very hungry. He had not eaten since morning. He asked his mother for food but she refused saying that solar eclipse is occurring and she would not cook till that got over. Then, kabir went to drink water and saw that water had tulsi leaves in it. He was frustrated as he had studied that solar and lunar eclipse are natural phenomena and has no ill effects on anyone.
When he told this to his mother, she didn't listen to him and asked him not to be orthodox. He went to his friend's house and on the way, he saw that prayers were being done at various place to keep away the ill effects of solar eclipse. Kabir felt embarrassed at the superstitious of people and went to study.

A satellite is orbiting the earth. If its distance from the earth is increased, its

linear velocity would increase

time period would increase
1.
From the law of conservation of angular momentum
\(m{ r }_{ 1 }{ v }_{ 1 }=m{ r }_{ 2 }{ v }_{ 2 }\quad \Rightarrow \quad { r }_{ 1 }{ v }_{ 1 }={ r }_{ 2 }{ v }_{ 2 }\ \ or\quad \frac { { v }_{ 1 } }{ { v }_{ 2 } } =\frac { { r }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 1 } } \)
2.
The total mechanical energy of a satellite of mass m in a circular orbit of radius r around a planet of mass M is given by
\(E=-\frac{G M m}{2 r}\)
So, \(E \propto \frac{m}{r}\)
Given,
Ratio of the masses of the satellites, \(\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{3}{1}\)
Ratio of the orbits of the satellites,
\(\frac{r_A}{r_B}=\frac{r}{4 r}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Now, the ratio of the total meachanical energy,
\(\frac{E_A}{E_B}=\frac{m_A}{m_B} \times \frac{r_B}{r_A}\)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{E_A}{E_B}=\frac{3}{1} \times \frac{4}{1} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{E_A}{E_B}=12: 1
\)
3.
\(\because\) Total energy, \(E_0=-\frac{G M m}{2 r}\)
Potential energy, \(U=-\frac{G M m}{r}=2 E_0\)
Kinetic energy, \(K=+\frac{G M m}{2 r}=-E_0\).
4.
Step 1: Given
1. The equal mass of the particles is m
2. The radius of the circle is R.
Step 2: Formula used
1. Gravitational force \(=\frac{G M m}{R^2}\)
2. Centrifugal force \(=m \omega^2 R\)
Step 3: Solution
Let the speed of rotation of each particle be v.
By equating gravitational force with centrifugal force
\(\frac{G m^2}{(2 R)^2}=m \omega^2 R \)
\(G=\text { Gravitational constant }\)
2R = The distance between the center of the two particles.
\(\omega=\) Angular velocity of the particles
Now,
\(\Rightarrow \frac{G m^2}{4 R^2}=m \omega^2 R \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{G m^2}{4 R^2 \cdot m R}=\omega^2 \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{G m}{4 R^3}=\omega^2 \)
\(\Rightarrow \omega =\sqrt{\frac{G m}{4 R^3}}\)
From the relation between angular velocity and linear velocity
\( v=\omega R \)
\( \Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{G m}{4 R^3} \times R} \)
\( \Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{G m R^2}{4 R^3}} \)
\( \Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{G m}{4 R}}\)
[Putting value of \(\omega\) from (1)]
Hence the required answer is \(v=\sqrt{\frac{G m}{4 R}}\).

\(T^{ 2 }\alpha R^{ 3 }\)
Hence, \(\frac { { T }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } }{ { T }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } =\frac { { R }_{ 1 }^{ 3 } }{ { R }_{ 2 }^{ 3 } } \Rightarrow { T }_{ 2 }^{ 2 }=\left[ \frac { { R }_{ 2 } }{ { R }_{ 1 } } \right] ^{ 3 }T_{ 1 }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow T_{ 2 }=T_{ 1 }\left[ \frac { R_{ 2 } }{ { R }_{ 1 } } \right] ^{ 3/2 }=365\left( \frac { R/2 }{ R } \right) ^{ 3/2 }
\)
\(=365\times \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt [ 2 ]{ 2 } } =129\ days\)
9.
Earth retains most of the atmosphere due to force of gravity.
10.
The centripetal force required by a satellite of mass m revolving in a circular orbit of radius r with a speed v is supplied by the gravitational force extended by the planet of mass M on the satellite. Thus
\(\frac{Mv^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\)
\(v=\sqrt {\frac{Gm}{r}}\)
The period of revolution of the satellite is
\(T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}=2\pi\sqrt {\frac{r^3}{GM}}\)
For satellite S1 let T=T1,r=r1,v=v1
Then \(T_1^2=\frac{4\pi^2r_1^3}{GM}\)
For satellite S2 , \(T_2^2=\frac{4\pi^2r_2^2}{GM}\therefore \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2}=\frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}\)
\(r_2=r_1(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
\(=10^4(\frac{8}{1})^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
\(=4\times10^4\ km\)
\(v_1=\frac{2\pi r_1}{T_1}\)
\(=\frac{2\pi\times10^4}{1}=2\pi\times10^4\ km/hr\)
\(v_2=\frac{2\pi r_2}{T_2}\)
\(=\frac{2\pi\times4\times10^4}{8}\)
\(=\pi\times10^4\ km/hour\)
Velocity of S2 relative to \(S_1=v_2-c_1=\theta_r(say)\)
\(v_r=(\pi\times10^4-2\pi\times10^4)\ km/hr\)
\(=-\pi\times10^4\ km/hour\)
Let r2-r1 = r
The angular velocity of S2 relative to S1 is given by
\(\omega=\frac{v_r}{r}=\frac{\pi\times10^4}{(4-1)10^4}\ rad/hour\)
\(\omega=\frac{\pi}{3}\ rad/hour\)

Gravitational attraction between two point objects are given as:
\(F = \dfrac{{G{M_1}{M_2}}}{{{r^2}}}\)…….(1)
Where,
F is the attractive force,
G is gravitational constant,
M1 and M2 are the masses of two objects,
r is the distance between the center of masses of the two objects.
The volume of a sphere of radius R is given by:
\(V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\)……. (2)
Where,
V is the volume of the sphere,
R is the radius of the sphere.
Mass of an object with given density and volume:
\(M = \rho .V\)……. (3)
Where,
M is the mass of the object,
ρ is the density of the object,
Complete step by step solution:
Given:
The radius of the smaller sphere is R.
The radius of a larger sphere is 2R.
The density of both spheres is ρ.
The spheres are kept with their surface touching each other.
To find: Contact force between the spheres.
Step 1:
Use eq.(2) in eq.(3) to get the mass of the first sphere of R as:
\(M_1=\rho \times\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) \)
\(\therefore M_1=\frac{4}{3} \pi \rho R^3\)
Step 2:
Similarly, Use eq.(2) in eq.(3) to get the mass of the first sphere of $2 R$ as:
\(M_2=\rho \times\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi(2 R)^3\right) \)
\(\therefore M_2=\frac{32}{3} \pi \rho R^3\)
Step 3:
For a uniform sphere, its center of mass always stays at its center. As they are kept just in touch so the distance between their center is r=R+2R=3R. Now, substitute r and the values of M1 and M2 obtained from eq.(4) and eq.(5) in eq.(1) to get the attractive force value as:
\(F=\frac{G \times\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \rho R^3\right) \times\left(\frac{32}{3} \pi \rho R^3\right)}{(3 R)^2} \)
\( \therefore F=\frac{128}{81} G \pi^2 R^4 \rho^2
\)

\({ T }_{ j }=11.6yr,{ r }_{ j }=?,{ T }_{ e }=1yr,{ r }_{ e }=1.5\times { 10 }^{ 11 }m\)
\(\\ \frac { { T }_{ j }^{ 2 } }{ { T }_{ e }^{ 2 } } =\frac { { r }_{ j }^{ 3 } }{ { r }_{ e }^{ 3 } } \)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \quad { r }_{ j }={ r }_{ e }\left( \frac { { { T }_{ j } } }{ { T }_{ e } } \right) ^{ 2/3 }=1.5\times 10^{ 11 }\times \left( \frac { 11.6 }{ 1 } \right) ^{ 2/3 }\)
\(\\ { r }_{ j }=7.68\times 10^{ 11 }m\)
13.
Let us consider that the rockey sphere has mass M and radius R.The escape speed for such a sphere is given by
\(x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}{ V }_{ e }=\sqrt { \frac { 2GM }{ R } } =\sqrt { \frac { 2G\left( \frac { 4\pi }{ 3 } \right) { R }^{ 2 }P }{ R } } =\sqrt { \frac { 8\pi Gp }{ 3 } } R\quad or\quad R={ v }_{ e }=\sqrt { \frac { 3 }{ 8\pi Gp } } \)
Here, \(p=3.0g/cm^{ 2 }=3.0\times { 10 }^{ 3 }kg/{ m }^{ 3 },{ v }_{ e }=40\quad m/s\)
Thus \(R=40\sqrt { \frac { 3 }{ 8\times 3.14\times 6.67\times { 10 }^{ -11 }\times 3\times { 10 }^{ 3 } } } m\)
or \(R=40\times 776.6m=30904m=30.904km\)
14.
\( T \propto r^{3 / 2} \)
\( \therefore \frac{T_1}{T_2}=\left(\frac{10^{13}}{10^{12}}\right)^{3 / 2}=10 \sqrt{10} .

15.
Here \(R=6400 \mathrm{~km}=6.4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}\)
g = 9.8 m s-2
Orbital velocity near the earth's surface is \(v_0=\sqrt{g R}=\sqrt{9.8 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}=7290 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) Time period,
\( T=\frac{2 \pi R}{v_0}=\frac{2 \times 22 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}{7 \times 7290}=5079 \mathrm{~s} \)
\( =1.411 \mathrm{~h}\)
16.
Here, \(M_e=9 M_m\), and \(R_e=2 R_m\)
ve (escape speed on surface of Earth) \(=11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\)
Let Vm be the speed required to pull out of the gravitational force of mars.
We know that
\(v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M_e}{R_e}}\) and \(v_m=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M_m}{R_m}}\)
Dividing, we get \(\frac{v_m}{v_e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M_m}{R_m} \times \frac{R_e}{2 G M_e}}\)
\( =\sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e} \times \frac{R_e}{R_m}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9} \times 2}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \)
\( \Rightarrow v_m=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}(11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s})=5.3 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}
\)
