Question

Satellites A and B are orbiting around the earth in orbits of ratio R and 4R respectively. The ratio of their areal velocities is :

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: For a circular orbit, v = √(GM/r), L = m√(GMr), K = GMm/(2r), U = -GMm/r, E = -GMm/(2r), and T = 2π√(r³/GM). Step 2: Form the ratio or energy change using the given radii/masses. Step 3: Simplify to the requested value. Final: A: 1 : 2.
