MCQ
If a satellite orbits as close to the earth's surface as possible,
- Aits speed is maximum
- Btime period of its rotation is minimum
- Cthe total energy of the 'earth plus satellite' system is minimum
- ✓all of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
all of the above
d
Speed of satellite $\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$ Speed will be maximum Time period
Speed of satellite $\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$ Speed will be maximum Time period
$\alpha r^{\frac{3}{2}}$ it will be minimum
Total Energy $=-\frac{G M m}{2 r}$
Total energy is minimum.

A toy gun fires a plastic pellet with a mass of $0.5\ g$. The pellet is propelled by a spring with a spring constant of $1.25\ N/cm$, which is compressed $2.0\ cm$ before firing. The plastic pellet travels horizontally $10\ cm$ down the barrel (from its compressed position) with a constant friction force of $0.0475\ N$. What is the speed (in $SI\ units$) of the bullet as it emerges from the barrel?
