Then which one of the following statement is not correct?

A

`V_(0)` is directly proportional to `r^((-3)/(2))`

B

T is directly proportional to `r^(3/2)`

C

L is directly proportional to `r^(2)`

D

E is directly proportional to `r^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Orbital velocity v is directly proportional to `r^((-1)/(2))`
