  • question_answer
    A satellite moves in a circle around the earth. The radius of this circle is equal to one half of the radius of the moon?s orbit. The satellite completes one revolution in [J&K CET 2005]

    A)             \[\frac{1}{2}\] lunar month    

    B)             \[\frac{2}{3}\] lunar month

    C)             \[{{2}^{-3/2}}\] lunar month           

    D)             \[{{2}^{3/2}}\] lunar month

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Time period of revolution of moon around the earth    = 1 lunar month.             \[\frac{{{T}_{s}}}{{{T}_{m}}}={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{s}}}{{{r}_{m}}} \right)}^{3/2}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3/2}}\]Þ\[{{T}_{s}}={{2}^{-3/2}}\] lunar month.
