NEET Physics: Gravitation — MCQ Test 25

Q6. A planet orbits the Sun with a period of 5 years. If Earth’s orbital radius is \( 1.5 \times 10^{11} \, \text{m} \), what is its semi-major axis?

Q7. A satellite orbits a planet at \( 8 \times 10^7 \, \text{m} \) from its center with a period of 20 hours. What is the planet’s mass? (\( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

Q8. A satellite orbits Earth at \( 2.5 R_E \) from the center. What is its orbital speed? (\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q9. What is the minimum speed to escape from \( 5 R_E \) from Earth’s center? (\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q10. What is the physical significance of the gravitational constant \( G \) in Newton’s law?
