A satellite of mass `m` is circulating around the earth with constant angular velocity. If the radius is `R_(0)` and mass of earth is M, then the angular momentum about the centre of the earth is

A

`m`

B

`M`

C

`h`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`L=mv_(0)(R+h)`
`=msqrt((GM)/((R+h)))(R+h)=msqrt(GM(R+h))`
i.e., `L` depends on `m,M` as well as `h`
