If the gravitational force between two o...

If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to `(1)/(R)` (and not as `(1)/(R^(2))`, where R is separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed v proportional to

A

`1/(R^(2))`

B

`R^(0)`

C

`R^(1)`

D

`1/R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`F_(G)=(GMm)/R` (as `F_(G)prop1/R` given)
So `(mv^(2))/R=(GMm)/Rimpliesv^(2)propR^(0)`
