Question

two satellites of masses m1 and m2( m1>m2) are revolving aroumd
the earth in ircular orbits of radii r1 and r2 (r1>r2 )
respectively Which of the following is true regarding their
respective speeds v1 and v2?
​A v1=v2 B v1>v2 C v1<v2 D cannot be predicted

Pintu B. · Accepted Answer

Dear Student , As we know that the speed of the satellite revolving around the earth in a circular orbit is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius of the orbit As here in this case r1 > r2 So , v1v2=r2r1Now as r1>r2So ,r2r1<1 So here v1v2<1Therefore , v1
