If `v_(0)` be the orbital velocity of an articial satellite orbital velocity of the same satellite orbiting at an altitude equal to earth's radius is

A

`v//sqrt2`

B

`v//2`

C

`sqrt2v`

D

`2v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`(V_(C_(2)))/(V_(C_(1)))=sqrt((r_(1))/(r_(2)))=sqrt((R)/(R+h))=sqrt((R)/(2R))=(1)/(sqrt2)`
`V_(C_(2))=(v)/(sqrt2).`
