MCQ
Which of the following quantities does not depend upon the orbital radius of the satellite
- A$\frac{T}{R}$
- B$\frac{{{T^2}}}{R}$
- C$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{{R^2}}}$
- ✓$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{{R^3}}}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{{R^3}}}$
d
(d) ${T^2} \propto {R^3}$
(d) ${T^2} \propto {R^3}$
$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{{R^3}}} = $ constant

A particle of mass $m$ moves in a one-dimensional potential energy $U(x) = -ax^2 + bx^4,$ where $'a'$ and $'b'$ are positive constants. The angular frequency of small oscillations about the minima of the potential energy is equal to
→A projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ( $x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance. $r =\sqrt{ x ^2+ y ^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$, the resulting curves show different behaviours for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure below. For $\alpha_1, r ( x )$ keeps increasing with $x$ while for $\alpha_2$, $r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum, then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at an angle $\alpha_c\left(\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2\right)$. The value of $\alpha_c$ is [ignore where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
