When a ball is dropped from a height \(\mathrm{h}\) it takes \(\mathrm{t} \mathrm{sec}\) to reach the ground. If the same experiment in done on a different planet having the mass 100 times the earth's mass and radius 10 times the earth's radius, then the time it will take to cover the same height in the new planet is

  1. A ts
  2. B \(100 \mathrm{ts}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{100} \mathrm{~s}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{10} \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) ts

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\mathrm{g}_{\text {earth }}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}}\) \(\mathrm{g}_{\text {planet }}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{G} \times 100 \mathrm{M}}{(10 \mathrm{R})^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2}}=\mathrm{g}_{\text {earth }}\) As…
