This is a Long Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- rp= radius of perihelion =2R
Ra = radius of aphelion =6R
So ra=a(1+e)=6R
And rp= a(1-e)=2R
Solving above eqns
We get e = ½
By conservation of angular momentum angular momentum at perigee= angular momentum at apogee
So mvprp=mvara
Va/vp=1/3
Where m is mass of satellite .
By conservation of energy , energy at perigee =energy at apogee
-
So
Vp= =
Vp=6.85km/s , va=2.28km/s
So orbital velocity vc=
R=6R ,vc= 3.23km/s
Hence to transfer to a circular orbit at apogee , we have to boost the velocity by 3.23-2.28=0.95km/s.

This is a Long Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation-let m be the mass of the earth vp, va be the velocity of the earth at perigee and apogee respectively. Similarly wp and wa are angular velocities.

At perigee, at apogee
If a is the semimajor axis of the earth's orbit then rp=a (1-e) and ra=a (1+e)
= 0.00167
Let w be the angular speed which is geometric mean of wp and wa and corresponding to mean solar day.
=1.0691
If w corresponds to 10 per day then wp = 1.0340 per day and wa= 0.9670 per day . since 3610=24, mean solar day we get 361.0340 which corresponds to 24h,8.14' and 360.9670 corresponds to 23h59min52'. So

Explanation- mass of earth M = 6
Radius of the earth , R = 6400km= 6.4
T=24h= 24
G = 6.67 10-11Nm2/kg2
(a) Time period T =
= 2
= ( )1/3
( )1/3-R
So after solving we get h = 3.59
(b) If satellite is at height h from the earth's surface

Cos = = cos81018'
= 81018'
=2(81018')= 162036'
If n number of satellite needed to cover entire the earth then
So n = 3600/2 = 2.31
So minimum 3 satellite are required to cover entire earth.

Explanation- consider a diagram having vertices A,B,C,D,E and F

AC= AG+GC=2AG
= 2lcos300= 2l
=
AD=AH+HJ+JD= lsin300+l+lsin300=2l
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at B is f1= along AB
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at C is f2= along AC
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at D is F3= along AD
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at E is F4= = along AE
Force on mass m at A due to mass m at F is F5= along AF
Resultant force due to F1 and F5 is F1=
= along AD
So net force along AD = F1+F2+F3=

Explanation- when a body og mass m is revolving around a star of mass M.

Linear velocity of the body v= so when r increases then v decreases.
Angular velocity of the body w = 2
According to kepler's law T2 r3
So T= kr3/2
So w= so when r increases, w decreases.
Kinetic energy of the body K= 1/2mv2=1/2m ( ) so when we increase r, KE decreases.
Gravitational potential energy of the body
U=-GMm/r
So when we increase r, PE becomes less negative
Total energy of the body E= KE+PE=
When r increases total energy becomes less negative . i.e increases.
Angular mom

For numerical problems, start by finding the given data and know what needs to be calculated. To visualize the motion, it is advisable to use a diagram. Based on if the acceleration is uniform, choose the appropriate kinematic equations. Also, be careful with the unit conversions and sign conventions. Solve the numerical problems by following the step-by-step approach and at the end double-check your answer for accuracy.

If one solves all these questions then it is great but it is not something mandatory. Practicing these questions helps students develop a strong understanding of Coulomb's law, electric charges, the superposition principle, and electric field lines. Even practicing a significant portion helps in boosting exam confidence and helps students to score high in the examination.

The NCERT textbook is good to start with as it introduces students to the basic concepts and explains these topics to provide conceptual clarity. However, the exemplar focuses on reasoning, challenging multiple-choice questions and numerical problems. The exemplar is like the supplement that boosts students' grasp on these concepts given in the NCERT textbook through reasoning, multiple-choice and numerical problems.
