A satellite `S_(1)` is revolving in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. Another satellite `S_(2)` is revolving in an orbit of radius 2.02 R. By which percentage the period of satellite `S_(2)` will be longer than `S_(1)` ?

Text Solution

To solve the problem of determining by what percentage the period of satellite \( S_2 \) is longer than that of satellite \( S_1 \), we can use Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the period of a satellite is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (or radius in the case of circular orbits) of its orbit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Radius of satellite \( S_1 \): \( R \) - Radius of satellite \( S_2 \): \( 2.02R \) ...
