A satellite is moving with a constant speed 'V' in a circular orbit about the earth. An object of mass 'm' is ejected from the satellite such that it just escapes form the gravitational pull of the earth. At the tme of its ejection, the kinetic energy of the object is

There is one Planet in space which has mass thrice as that of the earth and a radius four times as that of the earth. If the weight of a book on earth is 80N, what will be its weight of book on that Planet ?

Using the energy conservation, derive the expression for the minimum speeds at different locations along a vertical circular motion controlled by gravity. Also prove that the difference between the extreme tensions (or normal forces) depends only upon the weight of the object.
