Two satellites of same mass are launched in circular orbits at heights '$$R$$' and '$$2 R$$' above the surface of the earth. The ratio of their kinetic energies is ($$R=$$ radius of the earth)
At a height 'R' above the earth's surface the gravitational acceleration is (R = radius of earth, g = acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface)
The mass of a planet is six times that of the earth. The radius of the planet is twice that of the earth. If the escape velocity from the earth is '$$V_e$$', then the escape velocity from the planet is
For a body of mass '$$m$$', the acceleration due to gravity at a distance '$$R$$' from the surface of the earth is $$\left(\frac{g}{4}\right)$$. Its value at a distance $$\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)$$ from the surface of the earth is ( $$R=$$ radius of the earth, $$g=$$ acceleration due to gravity)
