For the moon to cease to remain the earth's satellite, its orbital velocity has to increase by a factor of

A

2

B

`sqrt(2)`

C

`1 // sqrt(2)`

D

`sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`v_(e) = sqrt(2) v_(0)` i.e. if the orbital velocity of moon 3 increased by factor of then it will escape our form the gravitational field or earth
