Question:

The radii of circular orbits of two satellites A and B of the earth, are 4R and R, respectively. If the speed of satellite A is 3 V, then the speed of satellite B will be : 

Options:

\(\frac{3}{2}v\)

\(\frac{3}{4}v\)

6 v

12 v

Correct Answer:

6 v

Explanation:

\(V ∝ \frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}\)

\(\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{\sqrt{r_2}}{\sqrt{r_1}}\)

v2 = 2 v1 = 6 v
