Two satellites of earth S(1)andS(2) are ...

Two satellites of earth `S_(1)andS_(2)` are moving in the same orbit. If the mass of `S_(1)` is four times the mass of `S_(2)` then which one of the following statements is true?

A

The potential energies of earth and satellite in both cases are equal.

B

The kinetic energies of two satellites are equal.

C

The time period of `S_(1)` is four times the time period of `S_(2)`.

D

Satellites `S_(1)andS_(2)` are moving with same speed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
