Orbital velocity of an artificial satellite does not depend upon

A

mass of the earth

B

mass of the satellite

C

radius of the earth

D

acceleration due to gravity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Orbital velocity of earth, `v_(0)=sqrt(gR)`. So, that orbital velocity of earth satellite does not depend on mass of the satellite.
