If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to $\frac{1}{R}$ (and not as $\frac{1}{R^2}$) where $R$ is the separation between them,then a particle in a circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed $v$ proportional to

The earth (mass $M = 6 \times 10^{24} \ kg$) revolves around the sun with an angular velocity $\omega = 2 \times 10^{-7} \ rad/s$ in a circular orbit of radius $R = 1.5 \times 10^8 \ km$. The force exerted by the sun on the earth in newtons is:

Two planets,$A$ and $B$,are orbiting a common star in circular orbits of radii $R_A$ and $R_B$,respectively,with $R_B = 2 R_A$. The planet $B$ is $4 \sqrt{2}$ times more massive than planet $A$. The ratio $\left(\frac{L_B}{L_A}\right)$ of angular momentum $(L_B)$ of planet $B$ to that of planet $A$ $(L_A)$ is closest to integer . . . . . . .

Consider a satellite going round the Earth in an orbit. Which of the following statements is wrong?

Spaceman Fred's spaceship (which has negligible mass) is in an elliptical orbit about Planet Bob. The minimum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $R$; the maximum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $2R$. At the point of maximum distance,Spaceman Fred is traveling at speed $v_0$. He then fires his thrusters so that he enters a circular orbit of radius $2R$. What is his new speed?
