The gravitational force between two obje...

The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to `1//R` (and not as `1//R^(2)`) where `R` is separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed `v` proportional to

A

`1//R^(2)`

B

`R^(0)`

C

`R^(1)`

D

`1//R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`F prop1//R implies F=k//R`
`F=mv^(2)//R`
`k/R=(mv^(2))/Rimplies v prop R^(0)`
