If two satellites of different masses are revolving in the same orbit, they have the same

A

angular momentum

B

energy

C

time period

D

speed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
If two satellites of different masses are revolving in the same orbit, then they have the same time period and speed because
`v_(0)=sqrt((GM)/r)`
And `T=2pisqrt((r^(3))/(GM))`
Angular momentum `(=mvr)` and energy `(=-(GMm)//2r)` both depend on the mass of the satellite. So option c and d are correct.
