Solution

The text you provided contains multiple questions. Here are the answers step by step:

  1. The orbital velocity of a satellite is given by the formula v = sqrt(GM/r), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and r is the distance from the center of the Earth. If we assume the Earth to be a uniform sphere, then the orbital velocities of the two satellites P and Q will be vp = sqrt(GM/(re+h1)) and vq = sqrt(GM/(re+h2)). The ratio of their magnitudes will be vp/vq = sqrt((re+h2)/(re+h1)).

  2. In an elliptical orbit, the linear speed of a planet is minimum at the point farthest from the sun, which is the aphelion. In the options provided, without a diagram or additional context, it's impossible to definitively say which point represents the aphelion.

  3. The angular speed of the wheel is given in revolutions per minute, so first we need to convert this to radians per second. 120 rev/min is equivalent to 1202π rad/min or 2π2 rad/sec. The linear speed v of any point on the rim of the wheel is given by the formula v = rω, where r is the radius of the wheel and ω is the angular speed. Substituting the given values, we get v = 2m * 2π*2 rad/sec = 8π m/sec.
