Angular momentum of the planet about $$S$$ is conserved. So, $$mvr = {\text{constant}}{\text{.}}$$
$$v$$ is maximum when $$r$$ is minimum.
So, $$v$$ is maximum at point $${P_4}.$$ Hence $$K.E.$$ is maximum at $${P_4}.$$

The escape velocity from the earth is $$11.2\,km/s.$$ If a body is to be projected in a direction making an angle $${45^ \circ }$$ to the vertical, then the escape velocity is
As, $${v_e} = \sqrt {2gR} = \sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}} $$
Hence, escape velocity does not depend on the angle of projection. Escape velocity will remain same.

A roller coaster is designed such that riders experience “weightlessness” as they go round the top of a hill whose radius of curvature is $$20\,m.$$ The speed of the car at the top of the hill is between
The appearance of weightlessness occurs in space when the gravitational attraction of the earth on a body in space is equal to the centripetal force.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = mg \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,v = \sqrt {rg} = \sqrt {20 \times 10} = 14.14\,m/s \cr} $$

From a sphere of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R,$$ a smaller sphere of radius $$\frac{R}{2}$$ is carved out such that the cavity made in the original sphere is between its centre and the periphery (See figure). For the configuration in the figure where the distance between the centre of the original sphere and the removed sphere is $$3R,$$ the gravitational force between the two sphere is
Volume of removed sphere
$${V_{{\text{remo}}}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)^3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)$$
Volume of the sphere (remaining)
$${V_{{\text{remain}}}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} - \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right) = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}\left( {\frac{7}{8}} \right)$$
Therefore mass of sphere carved and remaining sphere are at respectively $$\frac{1}{8}M$$ and $$\frac{7}{8}M.$$
Therefore, gravitational force between these two sphere,
$$\eqalign{
& F = \frac{{GMm}}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{{G\frac{{7M}}{8} \times \frac{1}{8}M}}{{{{\left( {3R} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{7}{{64 \times 9}}\frac{{G{M^2}}}{{{R^2}}} \cr
& \simeq \frac{{41}}{{3600}}\frac{{G{M^2}}}{{{R^2}}} \cr} $$

Two spherical bodies of masses $$M$$ and $$5M$$ and radii $$R$$ and $$2R$$ are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to $$12\,R.$$ If they attract each other due to gravitational force only, then the distance covered by the smaller body before collision is
Suppose, the smaller body cover a distance $$x$$ before collision, then
$$\eqalign{
& Mx = 5M\left( {9R - x} \right) \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,x = 45R - 5x \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,x = \frac{{45R}}{6} = 7.5\,R \cr} $$

A binary star system consists of two stars $$A$$ and $$B$$ which have time period $${T_A}$$ and $${T_B},$$ radius $${R_A}$$ and $${R_B}$$ and mass $${M_A}$$ and $${M_B}.$$ Then-
Note : The gravitational force of attraction between the stars will provide the necessary centripetal forces. In this case angular velocity of both stars is the same.
Therefore time period remains the same. $$\left( {\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}} \right)$$

The radii of circular orbits of two satellites $$A$$ and $$B$$ of the earth are $$4R$$ and $$R,$$ respectively. If the speed of satellite $$A$$ is $$3v,$$ then the speed of satellite $$B$$ will be
Orbital velocity of satellite is given by, $$v = \sqrt {\frac{{GM}}{r}} $$
Ratio of orbital velocities of $$A$$ and $$B$$ is given by,
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{v_A}}}{{{v_B}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{r_B}}}{{{r_A}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{R}{{4R}}} = \frac{1}{2} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{v_A}}}{{{v_B}}} = \frac{{3v}}{{{v_B}}} = \frac{1}{2} \cr
& \therefore {v_B} = 6v \cr} $$

Consider a spherical gaseous cloud of mass density $$\rho \left( r \right)$$ in a free space where $$r$$ is the radical distance from its center. The gaseous cloud is made of particles of equal mass $$m$$ moving in circular orbits about the common centre with the same kinetic energy $$K.$$ The force acting on the particles is their mutual gravitational force. If $$\rho \left( r \right)$$ is constant in time. The particle number density $$n\left( r \right) = \rho \left( r \right)/m$$ is-
[$$G$$ is universal gravitational constant]
The required centripetal force of particle of mass $$'m\,'$$ to revolve in a circular path is provided by gravitational pull of the mass $$'M\,'$$ present in the sphere of radius $$'r\,'$$.
Therefore
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = \frac{{GMm}}{{{r^2}}}\,\,\, \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{{GMm}}{{2r}}\,\,\, \Rightarrow K = \frac{{GMm}}{{2r}} \cr
& \therefore M = \frac{{2Kr}}{{Gm}} \cr} $$
Differentiating the above equation w.r.t $$'r\,'$$ we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{dM}}{{dr}} = \frac{{2K}}{{Gm}}{\text{ or }}dM = \frac{{2K}}{{Gm}}dr \cr
& \therefore 4\pi {r^2}dr\rho = \frac{{2K}}{{Gm}}dr \cr
& \therefore \rho = \frac{K}{{2\pi {r^2}mG}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{\rho }{m} = \frac{K}{{2\pi {r^2}{m^2}G}} \cr} $$
