Two astronauts are floating in gravitation-free space after having lost contact with their spaceship. The two will:

Two spherical bodies of masses \(M\) and \(5M\) and radii \(R\) and \(2R\) are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to \(12R.\) If they attract each other due to gravitational force only, then the distance covered by the smaller body before the collision is:

A spherical planet has a mass \(M_p\) and diameter \(D_p\)${\mathrm{}}_{}$. A particle of mass \(m\) falling freely near the surface of this planet will experience acceleration due to gravity equal to:
1. \(\frac{4GM_pm}{D_p^2}\)
2. \(\frac{4GM_p}{D_p^2}\)
3. \(\frac{GM_pm}{D_p^2}\)
4. \(\frac{GM_p}{D_p^2}\)

Two spheres of masses \(m\) and \(M\) are situated in air and the gravitational force between them is \(F.\) If the space around the masses is filled with a liquid of specific density \(3,\) the gravitational force will become:
1. \(3F\)
2. \(F\)
3. \(F/3\)
4. \(F/9\)
