AI Generated Solution

To determine the conditions required for a body to become an Earth satellite when fired by a rocket, we can break down the solution into several key steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Orbital Velocity**: The first condition for a body to become an Earth satellite is that it must achieve the correct orbital velocity. The formula for the orbital velocity \( V \) of a satellite at a height \( h \) above the Earth's surface is given by: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{g \cdot R^2}{R + h}} ...

A satellite is orbiting around the earth in a circular orbit and in this orbit magnitude of its acceleration is a_1 . Now a rocket is fired in the direction of motion of satellite from the satellite due to which its speed instantaneously becomes half of initial, just after the rocket is fired acceleration of satellite has magnitude a_2 . Then the ratio (a_(1))/(a_(2)) is (Assume there is no external force other than the gravitational force of earth before and after the firing of rocket from the satellite)
