Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ initially at rest at infinite distance apart move towards each other under gravitational force of attraction. Their relative velocity of approach when they are separated by a distance $r$ is ($G=$ universal gravitational constant.)

  • A
    $\left[\frac{2 G\left(m_1-m_2\right)}{r}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{2 G\left(m_1+m_2\right)}{r}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{r}{2 G\left(m_1 m_2\right)}\right]^{1 / 2}$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{r}{2 G} m_1 m_2\right]^{1 / 2}$

Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be $0.4 \times 10^6 \, km$ and $150 \times 10^6 \, km$ respectively. Their masses are $8 \times 10^{22} \, kg$ and $2 \times 10^{30} \, kg$ respectively. The radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$. Let $\Delta F_1$ be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest points on the earth and $\Delta F_2$ be the difference in the force exerted by the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then,the number closest to $\frac{\Delta F_1}{\Delta F_2}$ is

Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are initially at rest at infinite distance apart. They are then allowed to move towards each other under mutual gravitational attraction. Their relative velocity of approach at a separation distance $r$ between them is

$A$ very long (length $L$) cylindrical galaxy is made of uniformly distributed mass and has radius $R$ $(R << L)$. $A$ star outside the galaxy is orbiting the galaxy in a plane perpendicular to the galaxy and passing through its centre. If the time period of the star is $T$ and its distance from the galaxy's axis is $r$,then:
