The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance r from the centre is L . If the distance is increased to 16 r , then the new angular momentum will be
Options
- A16 L
- B64 L
- CL 4
- D4 L
Correct answer
D. 4 L
Step-by-step solution
L=m v r=m G M r r=m G M r L r array rlrl L₂ L₁ = r₂ r₁ = 16 r r =4 L₂ =4 L array
