The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the parameters given for the planet and Earth. ### Given: - Density of the planet, \( \rho_p = 2 \rho_e \) (where \( \rho_e \) is the density of Earth) - Radius of the planet, \( r_p = \frac{1}{2} r_e \) (where \( r_e \) is the radius of Earth) ### Step 1: Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet's surface (\( g_p \)) The formula for acceleration due to gravity is given by: \[ g = \frac{G M}{r^2} \] Where \( M \) is the mass of the planet. The mass can be expressed in terms of density and volume: \[ M = \rho \cdot V = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] For the planet: \[ M_p = \rho_p \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r_p^3 = (2 \rho_e) \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{1}{2} r_e\right)^3 \] Calculating \( M_p \): \[ M_p = (2 \rho_e) \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{1}{8} r_e^3 = \frac{1}{3} \rho_e \cdot 4 \pi r_e^3 = \frac{1}{3} M_e \] Now substituting \( M_p \) into the formula for \( g_p \): \[ g_p = \frac{G M_p}{r_p^2} = \frac{G \cdot \frac{1}{3} M_e}{\left(\frac{1}{2} r_e\right)^2} \] Calculating \( g_p \): \[ g_p = \frac{G \cdot \frac{1}{3} M_e}{\frac{1}{4} r_e^2} = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{G M_e}{r_e^2} = \frac{4}{3} g_e \] ### Step 2: Gravitational potential on the surface of the planet (\( V_p \)) The gravitational potential \( V \) is given by: \[ V = -\frac{G M}{r} \] For the planet: \[ V_p = -\frac{G M_p}{r_p} = -\frac{G \cdot \frac{1}{3} M_e}{\frac{1}{2} r_e} \] Calculating \( V_p \): \[ V_p = -\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{G M_e}{r_e} = -\frac{2}{3} V_e \] ### Step 3: Gravitational potential at the center of the planet The gravitational potential at the center of a uniform sphere is given by: \[ V_c = -\frac{3}{2} \frac{G M}{r} \] For the planet: \[ V_{c,p} = -\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{G M_p}{r_p} = -\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{G \cdot \frac{1}{3} M_e}{\frac{1}{2} r_e} \] Calculating \( V_{c,p} \): \[ V_{c,p} = -\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{G M_e}{r_e} = -\frac{G M_e}{r_e} = V_e \] ### Step 4: Gravitational field strength at the center of the planet The gravitational field strength \( g_c \) at the center of a uniform sphere is zero. ### Summary of Results: - \( g_p = \frac{4}{3} g_e \) (not listed in options) - \( V_p = -\frac{2}{3} V_e \) (not listed in options) - \( V_{c,p} = V_e \) - \( g_c = 0 \) ### Matching: - (A) \( g_p \) → (p) Half (Incorrect) - (B) \( V_p \) → (q) Same (Incorrect) - (C) \( V_{c,p} \) → (r) Two times (Incorrect) - (D) \( g_c \) → (s) Four times (Incorrect) ### Final Matching: - (A) → (p) Incorrect - (B) → (q) Incorrect - (C) → (r) Incorrect - (D) → (s) Incorrect

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships between the parameters given for the planet and Earth. ### Given: - Density of the planet, \( \rho_p = 2 \rho_e \) (where \( \rho_e \) is the density of Earth) - Radius of the planet, \( r_p = \frac{1}{2} r_e \) (where \( r_e \) is the radius of Earth) ### Step 1: Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet's surface (\( g_p \)) ...
