The eccentricity of the earth's orbit is `0.0167`, the ratio of its maximum speed in its orbit to its minimum speed is

A

`1.67`

B

`1.034`

C

`1`

D

`0.167`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, `mv_(1)r_(1)=mv_(1)r_(2)`
`(v_(1))/(v_(2))=(r_(2))/(r_(1))=(a(1+e))/(a(1-e))`

AS satellite of mass 1000 kg is supposed to orbit the earth at a height of 2000 km above the earth's surface. Find a. its speed in the orbit b. its kinetic energy. c. The potential energy of the earth satelilte system and d. it time period. Mass of the earth =6xx10^24kg .

A satelite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height h above the surface of the earth of radius R. The speed of the satellite in its orbit is one-fourth the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The relation between h and R is

A small satellite of mass m is revolving around earth in a circular orbit of radius r_(0) with speed v_(0) . At certain point of its orbit, the direction of motion of satellite is suddenly changed by angle theta = cos^(-1) (3/5) by turning its velocity vector , such that speed remains constant. The satellite consequently goes to elliptical orbit around earth. the ratio of speed at perigee to speed at apogee is
