If two planets are at mean distances \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) from the sun and their frequencies are \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) respectively, then:
1. \(n^2_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
2. \(n^2_2d^3_2= n^2_1d^3_1\)
3. \(n_1d^2_1= n_2d^2_2\)
4. \(n^2_1d_1= n^2_2d_2\)

Two satellites \(A\) and \(B\) go around the earth in circular orbits at heights of \(R_A ~\text{and}~R_B\) respectively from the surface of the earth. Assuming earth to be a uniform sphere of radius \(R_e\), the ratio of the magnitudes of their orbital velocities is:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B}}{R_{A}}}\)
2. \(\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{R_{B} + R_{e}}{R_{A} + R_{e}}}\)
4. \(\left(\frac{R_{A}}{R_{B}}\right)^{2}\)

If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to \(\frac{1}{R}\) (and not as\(\frac{1}{R^2}\)) where \(R\) is the separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed \(v\) proportional to:
1. \(\frac{1}{R^2}\)
2. \(R^{0}\)
3. \(R^{1}\)
4. \(\frac{1}{R}\)

2. \(R\left({\frac{gR}{2v^2}-1}\right)\)
