Step-by-step explanation

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Physics - Gravitation Question 104 English Explanation 1
T1 = 1 hour

1 = 2 rad/hour

T2 = 8 hours

2 = rad/hour

R1 = 2 103 km

As T2 R3



km

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Physics - Gravitation Question 104 English Explanation 2
V1 = 1R1 = 4 103 km/h

V2 = 2R2 = 2 103 km/h

Relative =

rad/hour

x = 3
