Two satellites of masses of `m_(1)` and `m_(2)(m_(1)gtm_(2))` are revolving round the earth in circular orbits of radius `r_(1)` and `r_(2)(r_(1)gtr_(2))` respectively. Which of the following statements is true regarding their speeds `v_(1)` and `v_(2)`?

A

`v_(1)=v_(2)`

B

`v_(1) lt v_(2)`

C

`v_(1)gt v_(2)`

D

`(v_(1))/(r_(1))=(v_(2))/(r_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

`v=sqrt((GM)/(R+h))" "thereforev=Rsqrt((g)/(R+h))`
