A satellite of mass `m` is orbiting around the earth at a height `h` above the surface of the earth. Mass of the earth is `M` and its radius is `R`. The angular momentum of the satellite is independent of

A

m

B

M

C

h

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`L = mv _(0) (R + h)`
`= m sqrt ((GM )/( ( R + h ))) ( R + h )`
`= m sqrt (GM ( R + h ))`
i.e., L depends on m, M as well as h.
