1. As we go from one planet to another, mass of a body remains unaffected. 

2. However, due to change in mass and radius of planet, acceleration due to gravity acting on the body changes as, g ∝ M/R2.

Hence, weight of the body also changes as, W ∝ M/R2

Equal weight of X (atomic weight = 36) and Y(atomic weight = 24) are reacted to form compound `X_(3)Y_(5)`, which of the following is/are correct?

Correct Answer - B::D `{:(,3X,+,5YrarrX_(3)Y_(5),,),("Mass","ag",,"ag",,),("Mole",(a)/(36),,(a)/(24),,),("Mole",(a)/(36)xx(1)/(3),,(a)/(24)xx(1)/(5),"Y is the limiting reagent",):}` `therefore " Mass of "X_(3)Y_(5)=(1)/(5)xx((a)/(24))(36xx3+5xx24)=1.9a`

Time period of revolution of a satellite around a planet of radius R is T. Period of revolution around another planet whose radius is 3R is

Correct option is: (A) T Period of resolution \(T = 2 \pi \sqrt \frac{R^3}{GM} \) \(T = 2 \pi \sqrt \frac{R^3}{G \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \rho} \) The period of revolution depends upon the density of...

If the mass of a body is M on the surface of the Earth, the mass of the same body on the surface of the moon is M (A) 6M (B) M/6 (C) M (D) Zero

Correct option is: (C) M Mass of the body does not depend upon the acceleration. It remains same all places.

Escape velocity on a planet is ve. If radius of the planet remains same and mass becomes 4 times, the escape velocity becomes

Correct option is: (B) \(2v_e\) Escape Velocity \(v_e = \sqrt {2gRe}\) \(\frac{V_{e1}}{V_{e2}} \propto \sqrt \frac{4R_1}{R_1}\) \(V_{escape \ 2} = 2 \ V_{escape \ 1}\)
