The distance of the two planets A and B from the sun are r_A and r_B respectively. Also r_B is equal to 100 r_A . If the orbital speed of the planet A is ' v ' then the orbital speed of the planet B is
Options
- Av 10
- Bv 2 .
- C2 v
- D10 v
Correct answer
A. v 10
Step-by-step solution
Orbital or Critical velocity v_ orb = GM R From the data given, v _ orb _ A = GM r _ A ...(i) and v _ orb _ B = GM r _ B = GM 100 r _ A = 1 10 GM r _ A Dividing equation (i) by (ii) aligned & v_ orb _A v_ orb _B = G M r_A 10 r_A G M & v_ orb _B = v_ orb _A 10 = v 10 ( given _ orb _A = v ) aligned
