Two satellites and move round the earth in the same orbit. The mass of is twice the mass of . The quantity which is same for the two satellites will be
Options
- ASpeed
- BKinetic energy
- CTotal energy
- DPotential energy
Correct answer
A. Speed
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the speed of a satellite while revolving around the Earth is given by
where, is the speed, is the Gravitational constant, is the mass of the Earth, is the radius of the orbit.
As can be seen from the equation, speed is independent of mass of satellite.
Hence, the speed of the satellites will be the same.
