Two satellites of masses `m_1` and `m_2 (m_1 gt m_2)` are revolving around earth in circular orbits of radii `r_1` and `r_2 (r_1 gt r_2)` respectively. Which of the following statements is true regarding their velocities `V_1` and `V_2`

A

`v_1=v_2`

B

`v_1ltv_2`

C

`v_1gtv_2`

D

`(v_1)/(r_1)=(v_2)/(r_2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`V_0=sqrt((GM)/r)rArrv_0propsqrt(M/r)` if `r_1gtr_2` then `v_1ltv_2`.
