Vedclass · Answer

(A, C) The gravitational field inside a spherical cavity within a spherical planet is uniform and non-zero. This is a standard result derived from the superposition principle of gravitational fields.Regarding option $C$,the total mechanical energy $E = K + U$. If $E = 0$,then $K = -U$. Since $U$ is negative in a gravitational field,$K$ must be positive. As the body moves away from the source,$U$ increases (becomes less negative) and $K$ decreases. At infinity,$U = 0$ and $K = 0$,meaning the body has just enough energy to reach infinity,which is the definition of escape velocity. Thus,a body with zero total mechanical energy will escape the gravitational field.

Column $-I$	Column $-II$
$(A)$ Kinetic energy	$(p)$ $-\frac{GM_Em}{2r}$
$(B)$ Potential energy	$(q)$ $\sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{r}}$
$(C)$ Total energy	$(r)$ $-\frac{GM_Em}{r}$
$(D)$ Orbital velocity	$(s)$ $\frac{GM_Em}{2r}$
