A person sitting in a chair in a satellite feels weightless because:

1. the earth does not attract the objects in a satellite.
2. the normal force by the chair on the person balances the earth's attraction.
3. the normal force is zero.
4. the person in the satellite is not accelerated.

A body is suspended from a spring balance kept in a satellite. The reading of the balance is W1 when the satellite goes in an orbit of radius R and is W2 when it goes in an orbit of radius 2R.

1. W1 = W2

2. W1 < W2

3. W1 > W2

4. W1 ≠  W2

Two satellites A and B move around the earth in the same orbit. The mass of B is twice the mass of A. Then:

1. speeds of A and B are equal.
2. the potential energy of earth \(+\) A is same as that of earth \(+\) B.
3. the kinetic energy of A and B are equal.
4. the total energy of earth \(+\) A is same as that of earth \(+\) B.
