The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the columns regarding the nature of the orbit of a particle at a distance \( r \) from the center of a uniform spherical planet of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \), we will analyze the velocity ranges given in Column I and determine their corresponding trajectories in Column II. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Velocity Ranges:** - We have four cases based on the velocity \( v \): - (A) \( 0 < v < \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \) - (B) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \) - (C) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \) - (D) \( v > \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \) 2. **Analyzing Case (A): \( 0 < v < \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \)** - In this case, the particle has a velocity less than the orbital velocity. It can either follow a straight line if projected directly away from the planet or could follow an elliptical path if projected at an angle. - **Matching:** Possible trajectories are (P) "Straight line" and (S) "Ellipse". 3. **Analyzing Case (B): \( v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \)** - This velocity is the orbital velocity. If the particle is projected tangentially, it will move in a circular orbit. If projected at an angle, it will follow an elliptical path. - **Matching:** Possible trajectories are (Q) "Circle" and (S) "Ellipse". 4. **Analyzing Case (C): \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \)** - This velocity is the escape velocity. If projected tangentially, it will follow a parabolic trajectory. If projected directly away from the planet, it will follow a straight line. - **Matching:** Possible trajectories are (P) "Straight line" and (R) "Parabola". 5. **Analyzing Case (D): \( v > \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \)** - For velocities greater than the escape velocity, the particle will not return to the planet and will move in a straight line away from it. - **Matching:** The only possible trajectory is (P) "Straight line". ### Final Matching: - (A) \( 0 < v < \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \) → (P) "Straight line", (S) "Ellipse" - (B) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \) → (Q) "Circle", (S) "Ellipse" - (C) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \) → (P) "Straight line", (R) "Parabola" - (D) \( v > \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \) → (P) "Straight line" ### Summary of Matches: - A → P, S - B → Q, S - C → P, R - D → P
