An astronaut of mass m is working on a satellite orbiting the earth at a distance h from the earth’s surface. The radius of the earth is R, while its mass is M. The gravitational pull F_G on the astronaut is :

A Carnot freezer takes heat from water at 0^oC inside it and rejects it to the room at a temperature of 27^oC. The latent heat of ice is 336×10³ J kg⁻¹. If 5 kg of water at 0^oC is converted into ice at 0^oC by the freezer, then the energy consumed by the freezer is close to :

A toy-car, blowing its horn, is moving with a steady speed of 5 m/s, away from a wall. An observer, towards whom the toy car is moving, is able to hear 5 beats per second. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, the frequency of the horn of the toy car is close to :

The resistance of an electrical toaster has a temperature dependence given by R(T) = R₀ [1 + $$\alpha $$(T − T₀)] in its range of operation. At T₀ = 300 K, R = 100 $$\Omega $$ and at T = 500 K, R = 120 $$\Omega $$. The toaster is connected to a voltage source at 200 V and its temperature is raised at a constant rate from 300 to 500 K in 30 s. The total work done in raising the temperature is :
