### Physics - Gravitation

#### Question - 1

• B fly away outward along the radius of the
• C fly backward along the tangent to the earth's surface
• D move backward a little distance and then remain at rest

#### Question - 2

• B $\frac { \pi }{ 6 } deg\quad { h }^{ -1 }$
• C 15 deg h-1

#### Question - 4

the moon completes its one revolution around the earth is 27 days. A satellite encircling the earth in a orbit of radius equal to half of the satellite will complete its ine revolution in nearly

• A $\frac { 27 }{ { (4) }^{ 1/3 } }$ days and will resolve 2.7 times faster
• B 10 days and will resolve 2.7 times faster
• C 13.5 days and will resolve 2.7 times faster
• D 19 days and will resolve with the same speed

#### Question - 5
