Communication satellites move in orbits of radius 44,400 km around the earth find the acceleration of such a satelite, assuming that the only force acting on, it is that  due to the earth.Mass of the earth $ = 6 \times {10^{24}}Kg.$

  1. $0.2\;m{s^{ - 2}}$

  2. $2.1\;m{s^{ - 2}}$

  3. $4.2\;m{s^{ - 2}}$

  4. $0.3\;m{s^{ - 2}}$


Correct Option: A

A particle is projected vertically upward and is at a height h after $\displaystyle { t } _{ 1 }$ seconds and again after $\displaystyle { t } _{ 2 }$ seconds, then:

  1. $\displaystyle h={ gt } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }$

  2. $\displaystyle h=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { gt } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle h=\frac { 2 }{ g } { t } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }$

  4. $\displaystyle h=\sqrt { { gt } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 } } $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let u be the velocity of the projection and O be the point of projection. Let P be the point in the path of the particle such that OP=h. Then,
$\displaystyle h=ut-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { gt }^{ 2 }\Rightarrow { gt }^{ 2 }-2ut+2h=0$...(i)
Clearly, $\displaystyle { t } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }$, are two roots of this equation.
$\displaystyle \therefore \quad { t } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }=\frac { 2h }{ g } $
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \quad h=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } g{ t } _{ 1 }{ t } _{ 2 }$

In case of an orbiting satellite, if the radius of orbit is decreased.

  1. Its KE decreases

  2. Its PE decreases

  3. Its ME decreases

  4. Its speed decreases


Correct Option: B,C
Explanation:

P.E of orbiting satellite at distance $r$ from centre of earth

$=\cfrac{-GMm}{r}\\K.E=\cfrac{GMm}{2R}$ and $M.E=\cfrac{-GMm}{2R}$

If $R$ decreased K.E increases.

P.E and M.E become more negative, thus decrease.

If for a given angle of projection, the horizontal range is doubled, the time of flight becomes

  1. $4 times$

  2. $2 times$

  3. $\sqrt 2 \;times$

  4. $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\;times$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$r=\dfrac { { u }^{ 2 }\sin2\theta  }{ g } $
Hence $R=2r=\dfrac { { V }^{ 2 }2\sin2\theta  }{ g } $
${ u }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { { V }^{ 2 } }{ 2 } \Rightarrow V=\left[ { \left( 2 \right)  }^{ 1/2 } \right] 4$
$t=\dfrac { 2u\sin\theta  }{ g } $
$T=\dfrac { 2V\sin\theta  }{ g } $
    $=\dfrac { 2\times { 2 }^{ 1/2 }\times u\sin\theta  }{ g } $
    $=\left( { 2 }^{ 1/2 } \right) t$
    $={ \left( 2 \right)  }^{ 1/2 }$
    $=\sqrt { 2 } $ times

Two identical satellites are moving in the same circular orbit around the earth but in opposite senses of rotation, Assuming an inelastic collision to take place, so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material  wreckage

  1. will be moving in a circular orbit of half the radius

  2. will be moving in a circular orbit on one fourth the radius

  3. will spin with no translatory motion

  4. falls directly down


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The wreckage will spin with no translatory motion$.$

Hence,
option $(C)$ is correct answer.

When the temperature raised to $50^0C$, how did scientist adjust its temperature?

  1. The temperature was brought down by about $10^\circ C$ by rotating the spacecraft about 20 degrees and switching off some of the instruments

  2. The temperature was brought down by about$ 0^\circ C$ by removing the parts spacecraft.

  3. The temperature was brought down by about $30^\circ C$ by rotating the spacecraft about 100 degrees and by removing some of the instruments

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Temperature was bought down by about $10°C$ by rotating the spacecraft $20$degrees and switching of some of the instruments.

  2. Rename the image

  3. Use the save as command

  4. Change the image file extension


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Open paint and then open your BMP file, Next click on file and then save as. In newer version of paint that have the ribbon interface click on the title menu icon, in the Save As type dropdown choose the JPEG as the file format.

Geo stationary satelites revolves at:

  1. Any height

  2. Fixed height

  3. Height above pole

  4. height which depends upon its mass


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Geo stationary satellite revolves at fixed height. A Geo stationary satellite is an earth orbiting satellite which is placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kms directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates.

Validation of programs is used to check that data is

  1. In right format

  2. Of right type

  3. Within possible value ranges

  4. All of above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data validation is a process of ensuring data have undergone data cleansing to ensure they have data quality i.e they are both correct and useful. Apart from data cleansing the data must be within possible value range that ensures smooth and effective functioning of the space satellite. Hence all the three option are correct.

Why would a switch be used in a network in preference to a HUB ?

  1. To reduce the network traffic

  2. To prevent the spread of all viruses

  3. To connect a computer directly to the internet

  4. To manage password security at the work station


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A switch can be used in a network in preference to HUB because a switch helps far better than a HUB to reduce the network traffic.
