A point P lies on the axis of a ring of mass M and radius 'a' at a distance 'a' from its centre C. A small particle starts from P and reaches C under gravitational attraction. Its speed at C will be :

$\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a} (1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})}$

$\sqrt{\frac{2 GM}{a} (\sqrt{2} - 1)}$

$(2) K_{p} + U_{p} = K_{c} + U_{c} 0 - \frac{GMm}{\sqrt{a^{2} + a^{2}}} = \frac{1}{2} {mv}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{a} v^{2} = 2 \times (- \frac{GMm}{\sqrt{2} a} + \frac{GMm}{a}) = \frac{2 GMm}{a} (- \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + 1) v = \sqrt{\frac{2 GMm}{a} (1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})}$

Explanation

(c) $\frac{v_{p}}{v_{e}} = \sqrt{\frac{g_{p}}{g_{e}} \times \frac{R_{p}}{R_{e}}} = \sqrt{2 \times 2} = 2 \Rightarrow v_{p} = 2 \times v_{e} = 2 \times 11.2 = 22.4 k m / s$

Acceleration due to gravity is ‘g’ on the surface of the earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity at a height of 32 km above earth’s surface is (Radius of the earth = 6400 km)

0.9 g

0.99g

0.8 g

Explanation

(b) h=32 km, R=6400k, so h $< < R$

$g^{1} = g (1 - \frac{2 h}{R}) = g (1 \frac{2 \times 32}{6400}) \Rightarrow g^{1} = \frac{99}{100} g = 0.99 g$
