A satellite is launched into a circular ...

A satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius 'R' around earth while a second satellite is launched into an orbit or radius 1.02 R. The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites is

A

0.7

B

`1.0`

C

1.5

D

`3.0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`T prop r^(3//2) T_1/T_2=(R/(1.02R))^(3//2)=1.03, T_1=1.03T_2`
difference = `(T_1-T_2)/T_2xx100`= 3%
