A ball of mass `m` is dropped from a height `h` equal to the radius of the earth above the tunnel dug through the earth as shows in the figure. Choose the correct options. (Mass of earth `= M`) A. Particle will oscillate through the earth to a height `h` on both sidesB. Particle will execute simple harmonic motionC. Motion of the particle is periodicD. Particle passes the centre of earth with a sped `upsilon = sqrt((2GM)/(R ))` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D `K_(i) + U_(i) = K_(f) + U_(f)` `:. 0 - (GMm)/(2R ) = (1)/(2) m nu^(2) - (3)/(2) (GMm)/(R)` or `nu = sqrt((2GM)/(R ))` |
