if a satellite orbits as close to the earth's surface as possible.

A

its speed is maximum

B

time period of its revolution is minimum

C

the total energy of the earth plus satellite system is minimum

D

the total energy of the earth plus satellite system is maximum.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
For (A): orbital speed `v_(0)=sqrt((GM)/(r))`
for (B): The period of revolution `T^(2)propr^(2)`
for (C/D): total energy `=-(GMm)/(2r)`
