MCQ
A geostationary satellite
- ✓Revolves about the polar axis
- BHas a time period less than that of the near earth satellite
- CMoves faster than a near earth satellite
- DIs stationary in the space
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Revolves about the polar axis
a
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on earth repeats regularly over points on the earth over time. If such a satellites orbit lies over the equator, it is called a geostationary satellite. Hence, geostationary satellite revolves about the polar axis.

The angular velocity of a body is $\mathop \omega \limits^ \to = 2\hat i + 3\hat j + 4\hat k$ and a torque $\mathop \tau \limits^ \to = \hat i + 2\hat j + 3\hat k$ acts on it. The rotational power will be .......... $W$
→A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end,, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height $3 h$ from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is released on the slide from rest at a height $h$ from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity $\vec{u}_0=u_0 \hat{x}$ and falls on the ground at a distance $d$ from the building making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$ and reaches a maximum height $h_l$. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$ and the coefficient of restitution of the ground is $1 / \sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

A large block of wood of mass $M =5.99\, kg$ is hanging from two long massless cords. A bullet of mass $m =10\, g$ is fired into the block and gets embedded in it. The (block $+$ bullet) then swing upwards, their centre of mass rising a vertical distance $h =9.8\,cm$ before the (block $+$ bullet) pendulum comes momentarily to rest at the end of its arc. The speed of the bullet just before collision is: (Take $g =9.8\, ms ^{-2}$ ) (in $m/s$)
