Let the speed of the planet at the perihelion PP in figure shown below be vPvP and the Sun-planet distance SPSP be rP.rP. Relation between (rP, vP)(rP, vP) to the corresponding quantities at the aphelion (rA, vA)(rA, vA) is:
1. | vPrP=vArAvPrP=vArA | 2. | vArP=vPrAvArP=vPrA |
3. | vAvP=rArPvAvP=rArP | 4. | none of these |
1. | no | 2. | yes |
3. | depends on the mass of the planet | 4. | we can't say anything |

1. −5.41Gm2l and 0
2. 0 and −5.41Gm2l
3. −5.41Gm2l and −4√2Gml
4. 0 and 0
Two uniform solid spheres of equal radii R, but mass M and 4M have a centre to centre separation 6R, as shown in the figure. The two spheres are held fixed. A projectile of mass m is projected from the surface of the sphere of mass M directly towards the centre of the second sphere. The expression for the minimum speed v of the projectile so that it reaches the surface of the second sphere is:
1. | 6.48×1023 kg | 2. | 6.48×1025 kg |
3. | 6.48×1020 kg | 4. | 6.48×1021 kg |
