Clock-\( 1 \) and Clock-\( 2 \) operate at time periods \( 4\,\text{s} \) and \( 6\,\text{s} \) respectively. Then value of \( h \) is: \( \big(\text{consider radius of earth } R_{E}=6400\,\text{km} \text{ and } g \text{ on earth } 10\,\text{m}/\text{s}^{2}\big) \)

Two satellite \( A \) and \( B \) go round a planet in circular orbits having radii \( 4R \) and \( R \) respectively. If the speed of \( A \) is \( 3v \), the speed of \( B \) will be;

The minimum and maximum distances of a planet revolving around the Sun are \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \). If the minimum speed of the planet on its trajectory is \( v_0 \) then its maximum speed will be

An object is allowed to fall from a height \( R \) above the earth, where \( R \) is the radius of earth. Its velocity when it strikes the earth's surface, ignoring air resistance, will be:

The variation of acceleration due to gravity \( (g) \) with distance \( (r) \) from the center of the earth is correctly represented by: (Given \( R \) = radius of earth)

An object of mass \( 1\,\text{kg} \) is taken to a height from the surface of earth which is equal to three times the radius of earth. The gain in potential energy of the object will be

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: A pendulum clock when taken to Mount Everest becomes fast.
Reason R: The value of \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity) is less at Mount Everest than its value on the surface of earth.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Consider a planet in some solar system which has a mass double the mass of earth and density equal to the average density of earth. If the weight of an object on earth is \( W \), the weight of the same object on that planet will be:

Initially a satellite of \( 100 \, \text{kg} \) is in a circular orbit of radius \( 1.5 R_E \). This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius \( 3 R_E \) by supplying \( \alpha \times 10^{6} \, \text{J} \) of energy. The value of \( \alpha \) is ______________.

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be \( F_1 \) when four particles having mass \( M, 2M, 3M \) and \( 4M \) are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is \( F_2 \) when the positions of \( 3M \) and \( 4M \) are interchanged. The ratio \( \frac{F_1}{F_2} \) is \( \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}} \). The value of \( \alpha \) is __________.

Three identical particles \( AB=BC=13\,\text{m} \). The gravitational force on a fourth particle \( P \) of the same mass is \( F \), when placed at a distance \( 13\,\text{m} \) from the particle \( B \) on the perpendicular bisector of the line \( AC \). The value of \( F \) will be approximately:
