The correct Answer is:
To find the orbital speed \( v_0 \) of an artificial satellite revolving around a planet where the gravitational force \( F \) varies with distance \( r \) from its center as \( F \propto r^2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Express the gravitational force Given that the gravitational force \( F \) is proportional to \( r^2 \), we can write: \[ F = G \frac{M m}{r^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the planet, and \( m \) is the mass of the satellite. ### Step 2: Set up the centripetal force equation For an object in circular motion, the centripetal force \( F_c \) required to keep the satellite in orbit is given by: \[ F_c = \frac{m v^2}{r} \] where \( v \) is the orbital speed of the satellite. ### Step 3: Equate gravitational force to centripetal force Since the gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force for the satellite's circular motion, we can set the two forces equal to each other: \[ \frac{m v^2}{r} = G \frac{M m}{r^2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation We can cancel \( m \) from both sides (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{v^2}{r} = G \frac{M}{r^2} \] ### Step 5: Rearrange to find \( v^2 \) Multiplying both sides by \( r \) gives: \[ v^2 = G \frac{M}{r} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( v \) Taking the square root of both sides, we find the orbital speed \( v_0 \): \[ v_0 = \sqrt{G \frac{M}{r}} \] ### Step 7: Express in terms of \( r \) Since we need to express \( v_0 \) in terms of \( r \), we can also relate it to the proportionality given in the problem. We can express \( v_0 \) as: \[ v_0 = \sqrt{G M} \cdot r^{-1/2} \] This indicates that the orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of \( r \). ### Step 8: Relate to the given proportionality If we consider the relationship \( F \propto r^2 \), we can express \( v_0 \) in terms of \( r^{3/2} \): \[ v_0 \propto r^{3/2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that the orbital speed \( v_0 \) is directly proportional to \( r^{3/2} \). ### Final Answer \[ v_0 \propto r^{3/2} \]
