The binding energy of a system of earth ...

The binding energy of a system of earth and its satellite orbiting round the earth in a circular orbit is E. If m of that satellite, its linear speed in that orbit is

A

`2E//m`

B

`E//m`

C

`sqrt(2E//m)`

D

`sqrt(E//m)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`E=(GMm)/(2r)=(1)/(2)mv_(e)^(2)`
`v_(c)^(2)=(2E)/(m)`
`therefore" "v_(c)=sqrt((2E)/(m)).`
