The radius of a planet is $R$. $A$ satellite revolves around it in a circle of radius $r$ with angular velocity $\omega_0$. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet's surface is

  • A
    $\frac{r^3\omega_0}{R}$
  • B
    $\frac{r^3\omega_0^3}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{r^3\omega_0^2}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{r^3\omega_0^2}{R^2}$

$A$ geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $6R$ from the earth's surface ($R$ is the earth's radius). What is the period of rotation of another satellite at a height of $2.5R$ from the earth's surface?

The orbital velocity of an Earth satellite near the surface is $7 \, km/s$. When the radius of the orbit is $4$ times the radius of the Earth,the orbital velocity in that orbit is ......... $km/s$.

On a hypothetical planet,a satellite can only revolve in quantized energy levels,i.e.,the magnitude of the energy of a satellite is an integer multiple of a fixed energy. If two successive orbits have radii $R$ and $\frac{3R}{2}$,what could be the maximum radius of the satellite (in $R$)?

The time period $T$ of a satellite is related to the density $(\rho)$ of the planet around which it is orbiting close to the surface as:

$A$ planet is revolving around the Sun as shown in the figure. The radius vectors joining the Sun and the planet at points $A$ and $B$ are $90 \times 10^6 \text{ km}$ and $60 \times 10^6 \text{ km}$,respectively. The ratio of velocities of the planet at the points $A$ and $B$ when its velocities make angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with the major axis of the orbit is:
