Should the speed of two artificial satellites of the earth having the different masses but the same orbital radius be the same?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, it is so because the orbital speed of a satllite is independent of the mass of a satellite. Therefore, the speeds of the arficial satellies of different masses but of the same orbital radius will be the same.
