(iii) It's angular momentum w.r.t. centre of the earth remains conserved. (iv) Its distance from center must be equal to (\sqrt{2}) times of earth's radius. The correct option is :-

Options

  1. Ai & ii are true
  2. Bi, iii & iv are true
  3. Conly iii is true
  4. Di & iv are true

Correct answer

C. only iii is true

Step-by-step solution

Satellite in circular orbit has constant speed, but not constant velocity and it will have centripetal acceleration.
