Two satellites of masses 50 kg and 100 kg revolve around the earth in circular orbits of radii 9 R and 16 R respectively, wehre R is the radius of earth. The speeds of the two satellites will be in the ratio

A

`3//4`

B

`4//3`

C

`9//16`

D

`16//9`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`(V_(C_(1)))/(V_(C_(2)))=sqrt((r_(2))/(r_(1)))=sqrt((16R)/(9R))=(4)/(3)`
