The time period of an earth satellite in circular orbit is independent of

A

the mass of the satellite

B

radius of its orbit

C

both the mass of satellite and radius of the orbit

D

neither the mass of satellite nor the radius of its orbit

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As `T^2 prop r^3` and proportionality constant does not depend on the mass of orbiting body. So, option (a) is correct.
