The rotation period of an earth satellite close to the surface of the earth is $83$ minutes. The time period of another earth satellite in an orbit at a distance of three earth radii from its surface will be .......... $\min$

Assertion $A$: An astronaut inside a massive spaceship orbiting around the Earth will experience a finite but small gravitational force.
Reason $R$: The centripetal force necessary to keep the spaceship in orbit around the Earth is provided by the gravitational force between the Earth and the spaceship.

The mass density of a spherical galaxy varies as $\frac{K}{r}$ over a large distance $r$ from its centre. In that region,a small star is in a circular orbit of radius $R$. Then the period of revolution,$T$ depends on $R$ as

$A$ satellite is in an elliptic orbit around the Earth with an aphelion of $6R$ and a perihelion of $2R$,where $R = 6400 \, km$ is the radius of the Earth. Find the eccentricity of the orbit. Find the velocity of the satellite at apogee and perigee. What should be done if this satellite has to be transferred to a circular orbit of radius $6R$? $(G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, SI \text{ units and } M = 6 \times 10^{24} \, kg)$

If the angular velocity of a planet about its axis is halved,the distance of the stationary satellite of this planet from the centre of the planet becomes $2^{n}$ times the initial distance. Then the value of '$n$' is

Suppose an astronaut throws a spoon out of a spacecraft. Will the spoon fall to the Earth?
