If v_0 be the orbital velocity of a satellite in a circular orbit...
If be the orbital velocity of a satellite in a circular orbit close to the earth's surface and is the escape velocity from the earth, then relation between the two is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D.
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Orbital velocity of satellite and escape velocity from the earth .
We have orbital velocity
and escape velocity
Therefore ratio of orbital velocity to escape velocity
v_e=v_0
