If the Earth is considered a point mass of $6 \times 10^{24} \ kg$ revolving around the Sun at a distance of $1.5 \times 10^8 \ km$ in a period of $T = 3.14 \times 10^7 \ s$,then the angular momentum of the Earth around the Sun will be:

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 $R$)?

View Solution

$A$ satellite revolving around the earth at a certain height experiences acceleration due to gravity equal to $\frac{16}{49} g_0$,where $g_0$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface. If $R$ is the radius of earth,then the square of time period of the satellite's revolution is equal to $K\left[\frac{\pi^2 R^3}{G M}\right]$. The value of $K$ is
