The satellite which orbits the Earth faster than the other.
Answer to Problem 49P
Solution:
The speed of thefirst satellite is 1.24 timesthan that of the second satellite
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The orbiting radius of the first satellite,
The orbiting radius of the second satellite,
Formula Used:
Gravitational force:
Where,
r is the distance between M and m .
Where, m is the mass, v is the velocity and ris the radius.
Calculation:
Where
Substitute the values:
The ratio of the speeds of the first and the second satellite is:
Conclusion:
Therefore, the speed of thefirst satellite is 1.24 timesfaster than the second satellite.
