A satellite can be in a geostationary orbit around a planet at a distance r from the centre of the planet. If the angular velocity of the planet about its axis doubles, a satellite can now be in a geostationary orbit around the planet if its distance from the centre of the planet is.(a) r/2 (b) r/2√2 (c) r/41/3 (d) r/21/3 |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (c) r/41/3 Time period of rotation (T) and distance (r) are related as T2 ∝ r3. Also, when the angular velocity doubles, the time period becomes half. |
