If due to air drag, the orbital radius of satelite decreases from R to `R-DeltaR,DeltaRltltR`, then the expression for change is orbital velocity `Deltav` is [mass of earth M]:-

A

`(DeltaR)/(2) sqrt((GM)/(R^(3)))`

B

`-(DeltaR)/(2) sqrt((GM)/(R^3))`

C

`DeltaRsqrt((GM)/(R^(3)))`

D

`-DeltaRsqrt((GM)/(R^(3)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`V=sqrt((GM)/(R))=sqrt(GM) R^(-1//2)`
`(DeltaV)/(V)=-(1)/(2)(DeltaR)/(R) necaise DeltaRrarrDeltaR`
`DeltaV=sqrt((GM)/(R))(DeltaR)/(2R)`
`DeltaV=sqrt((GM)/(R^(3)).(DeltaR)/(2)`
