Two satellite revolving around a planet ...

Two satellite revolving around a planet in the same orbit have the ratio of their masses `m_1/m_2 =1/4` The ratio of their orbital velocities `v_1/v_2= ....`

A

1

B

`1/4`

C

2

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`implies` There is no mass term in ortital velcoity
`v_0 =sqrt((GM_e)/r)`
Hence orbital velocity does not depend on mass
