JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Motion of Satellite

  • question_answer
    Two satellites A and B go round a planet P in circular orbits having radii 4R and R respectively. If the speed of the satellite A is 3V, the speed of the satellite B will be. [MNR 1991; AIIMS 1995; UPSEAT 2000]

    A) 12 V    

    B)             6 V

    C)             \[\frac{4}{3}V\]         

    D)             \[\frac{3}{2}V\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        \[v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}\]Þ \[\frac{{{v}_{A}}}{{{v}_{B}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{R}_{B}}}{{{R}_{A}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{R}{4R}}\]\[=\frac{1}{2}\] \\[\frac{{{v}_{A}}}{{{v}_{B}}}=\frac{3V}{{{v}_{B}}}=\frac{1}{2}\]\[\therefore \,\,{{v}_{B}}=6\,V\]
