A satellite of mass is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is ( is the gravitational constant ; is the mass of the earth)

F = Gm²/ (2R)² = mω²R Given m = 1kg
⇒ ω² = Gm/ (4R³)

The planet Mars has two moons, if one of them has a period 7 hours, 30 minutes and an orbital radius of 9.0 × 10³ km. Find the mass of Mars.

The planet Mars has two moons, if one of them has a period 7 hours, 30 minutes and an orbital radius of 9.0 × 10³ km. Find the mass of Mars.
{Given 4π²/G = 6 × 10¹¹ N⁻²kg²}
T² = (4π²r³)/GM
⇒ M = (4π²r³)/ (G T²)
⇒ M = 6 × 10¹¹ × (9 × 10? )³ / (450 × 60)²
= 6.48 x 10²³ kg
(Note: There is a calculation error in the source image. Using the formula and given values: M = (6e11 * (9e6)^3) / (27000)^2 = 6e23 kg)
Suppose two planets (spherical in shape) of radii R and 2R, but mass M and 9M respectively have a centre to centre separation 8R as shown in the figure. A satellite of mass 'm' is projected from the surface of the planet of mass 'M' directly towards the centre of the second planet. The minimum speed 'v' required for the satellite to reach the surface of the second planet is √(aGM/(7R)) then the value of 'a' is _______. [Given: The two planets are fixed in their position]

We have to find the point where the gravitational field must be zero.
EG = 0
GM/x² = G (9M)/ (8R-x)²
1/x² = 9/ (8R-x)²
8R - x = 3x => x = 2R
Potential at A (surface of first planet), VA = -GM/R - G (9M)/7R = -16GM/7R
Potential at point x, Vx = -GM/x - G (9M)/ (8R-x) = -GM/2R - G (9M)/6R = -2GM/R
ΔV = Vx -

g = (4/3)πRρG . (i) (ρ = density)
Now ρ = M/V = M/ (4/3)πR³)
R³ = M/ (4/3)πρ) => R ∝ (M/ρ)¹/³
From equation (i)
g ∝ Rρ ∝ (M/ρ)¹/³ρ = M¹/³ρ²/³
For planet, M' = 2M, ρ' = ρ
g'/g = (M'/M)¹/³ (ρ'/ρ)²/³ = (2)¹/³ (1)²/³ = 2¹/³
W' = mg' = m (2¹/³g) = 2¹/³ (mg) = 2¹/³W
