Choose the correct alternative :
(a) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.
(b) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
(c) Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the earth/mass of the body.
(d) The formula

- G M m (1/ r_{2} - 1/ r_{1})

is more/less accurate than the formula

m g (r_{2} - r_{1})

for the difference of potential energy between two points

r_{2}

and

r_{1}

distance away from the center of the earth.

Suppose there existed a planet that went around the sun twice as fast as the earth.What would be its orbital size as compared to that of the earth ?

Io, one of the satellites of Jupiter has an orbital period of 1.769 days and the radius of the orbit is

4.22 \times 1 0^{8} m

. Show that the mass of Jupiter is about one-thousandth that of the sun.

Time taken by the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun,

T_{e} = 1

year

Time taken by the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun,

T_{P} = \frac{1}{2} T_{e} = \frac{1}{2} ye a r

Orbital radius of the planet = Rp

From Kepler’s third law of planetary motion, we can write:

(\frac{R _{P}}{R _{e}})^{3} = (\frac{T _{P}}{T _{e}})^{2}

(\frac{R _{P}}{R _{e}}) = (\frac{T _{P}}{T _{e}})^{2/3}

= 0. 5^{(2/3)} = 0.63

Hence, the orbital radius of the planet will be 0.63 times of the Earth.
