A satellite in a circular orbit of radius R has period T. For radius 4R, period is
A. 8T
B. 2T
C. 4T
D. T/2
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Kepler's 3rd law: T² ∝ R³ => T' = T (4)^(3/2) = T×8 = 8T.

Question #1
The work done by a conservative force acting on a particle moving around any closed path is:
A. Depends on the path taken
B. Zero
C. Negative
D. Positive

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By definition, a force is conservative if the work done by it on an object moving between two points is completely independent of the path taken. A direct consequence of this is that the total work done by a conservative force (like gravity or electrostatic force) in moving an object around a closed loop (returning to the starting point) is exactly zero.

Question #2
The focal length of a concave mirror is 10 cm. Object placed at 20 cm gives image distance
A. 10 cm
B. Infinity
C. 20 cm
D. 5 cm

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
u = -20, f = -10. Mirror formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u => 1/(-10) = 1/v + 1/(-20) => -1/10 = 1/v - 1/20 => 1/v = -1/10 + 1/20 = -1/20 => v = -20 cm, image at C.
