In our solar system, the inter-planetary region has chunks of matter (much smaller in size compared to planets) called asteroids. They

A

will not move around the sun, since they have very small masses compared to the sun

B

will move in an irregular way because of their small masses and will drift away into outer space

C

will move around the sun in closed orbits but not obey Kepler's laws

D

will move in orbits like planets and obey Kepler's laws

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Because, asteroids are also being affected by gravitational forces.

A planet in a distant solar system is 10 times more massive than the earth and its radius is 10 times smaller. Given that the escape velocity from the earth is 11kms^(-1) , the escape velocity from the surface of the planet would be .......

A spherical capacitor has an inner sphere of radius 12 cm and an outer sphere of radius 13 cm. The outer sphere is earthed and the inner sphere is given a charge of 2.5 µC. The space between the concentric spheres is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant 32. (a) Determine the capacitance of the capacitor. (b) What is the potential of the inner sphere? (c) Compare the capacitance of this capacitor with that of an isolated sphere of radius 12 cm. Explain why the latter is much smaller.

Assertion:- The formula ((1)/(v)+(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)) connecting u and v for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirros whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvatures. Reason:- Laws of reflection are strictly valid for smaller size of of optical system.
