PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359762 If the time period of a satellite is 20 hours and is in equatorial plane rotating in the direction of earth's rotation (i.e. west to east), then for an observer at a fixed point on the Earth, the time interval between two consecutive overhead appearances will be

1 90h
2 150h
3 120h
4 190h

359763 A satellite of mass m revolves around the earth of radius R at a height x from its surface. If g is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth, the orbital speed of the satellite is

1 gx
2 (gR2R+x)1/2
3 gR2R+x
4 gRRx

359765 Two satellites of mass m and 9m are orbiting a planet in orbits of radius R. Their periods of revolution will be in the ratio of

359764 Assertion :
For a satellite revolving very near to earth's surface the time period of revolution is given by 1 hour 24 minutes.
Reason :
The period of revolution of a satellite depend only upon its height above the earth's surface.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
