MCQ
A string is tied on a sonometer, second end is hanging downward through a pulley with tension T. The velocity of the transverse wave produced is proportional to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{T}$
  • B
    T
  • C
    $\sqrt{T}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{T}}$

Answer

(c) $\sqrt{T}$
Explanation: $v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}$
$
\therefore v \propto \sqrt{T}
$

A satellite of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed $u$ from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height $\mathrm{R}$ ($R =$ radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{10}$ so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is
