- Q1
The masses of two planets are in the ratio 1 : 2. Their radii are in the ratio 1 : 2. The acceleration due to gravity on the planets are in the ratio.
5:3
3;5
2;1
1;2
300s - Q2
If the radius of the earth is made three times, keeping the mass constant, then the weight of a body on the earth's surface will be as compared to its previous value is
one third
three times
one ninth
nine times
300s - Q3
Two satellites of mass m and 9m are orbiting a planet in orbits of radius R. The period of revolution will be in the ratio of
1:1
9:1
1:3
3:1
300s - Q4
If the density of Earth is doubled keeping its radius constant then acceleration due to gravity will become (the present value is 9,8 ms-2)
2.45
4.9 ms-2
19.6 ms-2
9.8 ms-2
300s - Q5
A satellite is orbiting around the Earth with a period T. If the Earth suddenly shrinks to half its radius without change in mass, the period of revolution of the satellite will be
2T
T/2
T
T√2
300s - Q6
Two satellites of mass m, and 10m, are put in the same orbit around the sun. If T1 and T2 be their time periods, then T1/T2 =
1/2
1/4
1
4
300s - Q7
The escape velocity will ……………… if a planet is made bigger keeping its density constant.
remains the same
decrease
none of the above
increase
300s - Q8
Tell which of the following statements will be True about the observation given here? If the gravitational attraction of Earth suddenly disappears, then(a) Both mass as well as the weight will be zero.(b) Weight of the body will become zero but the mass will remain unchanged.(c) Weight of the body will remain unchanged but the mass will become zero.(d) Neither mass nor weight will be zero
Neither mass nor weight will be zero
Weight of the body will remain unchanged but the mass will become zero
Weight of the body will become zero but the mass will remain unchanged.
Both mass as well as the weight will be zero.
300s - Q9
Tell which of the following statements are False?(a) A spaceship entering Earth’s atmosphere is likely to catch fire.(b) ve > v0 for Earth.(c) A surface at every point of which the gravitational potential remains same is called equipotential surface.(d) g at pole is lesser than at the equator.
ve > v0 for Earth.
Escape velocity doesnot depend on mass of the body
A spaceship entering Earth’s atmosphere is likely to catch fire.
g at pole is lesser than at the equator.

C
B
A
D

A
C
B
D
300s - Q13
The time period (T) of the artificial satellite of Earth depends on the density (p) of the Earth as
T ∝ 1/ρ
T ∝ √ρ
T ∝ ρ
T ∝ 1√ρ
300s - Q14
A body is taken from the poles to the equator of the earth, what happens to its weight?
remains the same
decreases
becomes 0
increases
300s - Q15
