If the height of the orbit of a satellite increases, its velocity must also increase. True/false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As per the formula `v_(c)=sqrt((GM)/(R+h))`, if the value of h increases, the value of `v_(c)` decrease. Hence, if the height of the satellite from the surface of the earth increases, its velocity decreases.
