Assertion: Satellite is an ideal platform for remote sensing.
Reasion: Satellite in poplar orbit can provide global coverage or continuous coverage of the fixed area in geostationary configuration.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reasion are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reasion is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
The remote sensing is done through a satellite. A remote sensing satellite files in a polar orbit at an altitude of `918 km`, around the earth, in such away that it passes over a given location on the earth at the same local time.

A remote sensing satellite is revolving in an orbit of radius x on the equator of earth. Find the area on earth surface in which satellite can not send messsage.

A satellite is orbiting the earth of mass M in equatorial plane in a circular orbit having radius 2R and same sense of rotation as that of the Earth. Find duration of time for which a man standing on the equator will be able tosee the satellite continuously. Assume that the mans can see the satellite when it is above horizon. take Earth's angular velocity omega .

Assertion : A satellite can not be set on a stable orbit in a planet not passing through the earth's centre. Reason: For the orbital motion of satellite, the centripetal force is provided by gravitational pull of earth on satellite.
