Determine the gravitational potential of a body of mass 80 kg whose gravitational potential energy is 5 × 10^9 J on the surface of the Earth.

Given: m = 80 kg, U = 5 × 109 J To find: Gravitational potential (V) Formula: V = \(\frac{U}{m}\) Calculation: From formula, V = \(\frac{5\times10^9}{80}=\frac{25}{4}\) × 107 = 6.25 × 107 J kg-1 Potential of the body at the surface...

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...

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 \(v_e = \sqrt {2gRe}\) \(\frac{V_{e1}}{V_{e2}} \propto \sqrt \frac{4R_1}{R_1}\) \(V_{escape \ 2} = 2 \ V_{escape \ 1}\)
