Question
A staellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. While a second satellite launched into an orbit of radius 1.01R. The period of the second satellite is longer than the first one by approximately:
Options
A.3.0%
B.1.5%
C.0.7%
D.1.0%
Solution
We know that relation between radius of orbit and time period of revolution is
T2 ∝ R3
I +
%Change in T = 1.5%
T2 ∝ R3
I +
%Change in T = 1.5%
