This are the following statements given regarding satellite’s motion a. A satellite in geostationary orbit lies in the same plane with equator b. A satellite in geosynchronous orbit lies in the same plane with equator c. A satellite in geostationary orbit does not lie in the same plane with equator, it is inclined at some angle from plane of equator d. A satellite in geosynchronous orbit does not lie in the same plane with equator, it is inclined at some angle from plane of equator Choose one of the following options
The Earth is an oblate spheroid and not a perfect sphere. This is because
1. the Earth has a rotational motion and the rotational speed increases as one goes from the Poles towards the Equator.
2. the Equator experiences greater gravitational pull from the Sun.
3. the intensity of sunlight received at the Equator is greater than that at the Poles.

Consider the following statements about Latitude and Longitude. 1. As the earth is slightly flattened at the poles, the linear distance of a degree of latitude at the pole is a little shorter than that at the equator. 2. As the parallels of latitude become longer poleward, so the meridians of longitude, which converge at the poles, enclose a narrower space 3. The point at which the Equator and the Prime Meridian intersect is in the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean. Which of the statement/statements given above is/are correct.
Since the potential energy of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity and since the acceleration due to gravity decreases as altitude increases, we can conclude that the potential energy of an object decreases as altitude increases.
Consider the following statements with reference to Coriolis force: It is an imaginary force acting on a moving object due to the rotation of the earth.

In the question below, a passage is given followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Passage: The board of Vedanta Ltd Limited on Monday approved a proposal for delisting of the company and will seek shareholders approval for the process through e-Voting, the company informed the exchanges. The company has proposed to buy 48.9% shares at Rs 87.5 apiece whereas the book value of the company is around Rs. 141 per share. Retail investors hold 7% of the total shares whereas Institutional Investors hold 41.9% of the total shares. Minimum 90% of shareholders should approve the de-listing for it to happen. The scrip closed today at Rs.110, down 4% from the previous close. Courses of action: I. Vedanta must cajole Institutional shareholders to approve the de-listing. II. Institutional Investors must seek a better deal from the company and vote out this proposal as it is below both the market price and book value. III. Retail investors must come together and complain to the exchanges regarding the company’s attempt to force them out of their shares.
