If a satellite orbits as close to the earth's surface as possible,

A

(i),(ii)

B

(i),(ii),(iii)

C

(i),(ii),(iv)

D

(ii),(iv)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`v=sqrt((GM_(e))/r) implies v prop 1/(sqrt(r))`
`T=(2pir^(3//2))/(sqrt(GM)) implies T prop r^(3//2)`
`E=-(GM_(e)m)/(2r) implies E prop(-1/r)`
lower value of `r` i.e, `E` is more negative
