NEET Physics: Gravitation — MCQ Test 22

Q6. A planet has a moon with an orbital radius of \( 5 \times 10^8 \, \text{m} \) and a period of 10 days. What is the planet’s mass? (\( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2, 1 \, \text{day} = 86400 \, \text{s} \))

Q7. A satellite orbits Earth at a height equal to \( R_E/2 \). What is its orbital speed? (\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \))

Q8. How much energy is required to move a \( 700 \, \text{kg} \) satellite from \( 11 R_E \) to \( 22 R_E \) from Earth’s center? (\( M_E = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}, R_E = 6.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}, G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \))

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

Q10. Why does an object require more energy to escape from a higher altitude than to reach that altitude?

Preview of Questions in this Test

Q1. Why did Newton conclude that the gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance?

  • A. Due to Kepler’s third law
  • B. Due to the Moon’s orbit compared to Earth’s gravity
