Gravitation MCQs

S1 and S2 revolve around a planet in circular orbits with periods of 1 hour and 8 hours respectively. S1 has a radius of 104 km. The velocity of S2 with respect to S1 is 2π × 104 km/hr. A mass splitting into two parts m and M-m maximizes gravitational force between the parts when the ratio m/M is 1/2. For an object with mass moving at 1/2 the speed of light, its inertial mass will be 1 kg.
