MCQ
Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $\frac{\sqrt 6}{11}g$ , where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass  density of the planet is $\frac{2}{3}\, times$ that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be $11\, kms^{-1}$, the escape speed on the surface of  the  planet in $kms^{-1}$ will be
  • A
    $2$
  • $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $6$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3$
b
$\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{GM}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}^{2}}=\frac{4}{3} \mathrm{G} \pi \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}} \rho_{\mathrm{p}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{g_{p}}{g_{e}}=\frac{R_{p} p_{p}}{R_{e} p_{e}}$

Also, $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{R}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{p}} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{e}}}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{e}}}\right) \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{e}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{p}}}}=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{11} \times \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{p}}=3 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}$

A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length $4.9 \ m$. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by $0.2$ $m$ and released from rest at $t =0$. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega=\frac{\pi}{3} \ rad / s$.

Simultaneously at $t=0$, a small pebble is projected with speed $v$ from point $P$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. Point $P$ is at a horizontal distance of $10 \ cm$ from $O$. If the pebble hits the block at $t=1 \ s$, the value of $v$ is (take $g =10 \ m / s ^2$ )
