A satellite is revolving around the earth in a circular orbit of radius r with speed v. What will be the effect on speed f satellite if radius is decreased by 5% ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the speed of a satellite changes when the radius of its orbit is decreased by 5%, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for orbital speed The orbital speed \( v \) of a satellite is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} \] where: ...
