5. Force on satellite is always towards earth, therefore,acceleration of satellite S is always directed towardscentre of the earth. Net torque of this gravitationalforce F about centre of earth is zero.Therefore, angularmomentum (both in magnitude and direction) of Sabout centre of earh is constant throughout. Since, theforce F is conservative in nature, therefore mechanicalenergy of satellite remains constant. Speed of S ismaximum when it is nearest to earth and minimumwhen it is forthest.

7. Time period of a satellite very close to earth's surfaceis 84.6 min. Time period increases as the distance ofthe satellite from the surface of earth increase. So, timeperiod of spy satellite orbiting a few 100 km above theearth's surface should be slightly greater than 84.6 min.Therefore, the most appropriate option is (c) or 2 h.
8. In case of binary star system angular velocity andhence the time period of both the stars are equal.

So, (c) is correct.
OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS (ONLY ONE OPTION)1. (a) The gravitational field is zero at the centre of a solid
sphere. The small spheres can be considered as nega-tive mass m located at A and B. The gravitational forcedue to these masses on a mass at O is equal andopposite. Hence, the resultant force on mass at O iszero.(c and d) are correct because plane of these circlesis y-z, i.e., perpendicular to x-axis i.e., potential at anypoint on these two circles will be equal due to thepositive mass M and negative masses m and m.
