1.

A satellite of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius r round the earth. Calculate its angular momentum with respect to the centre of the orbit in terms of the mass M of the earth G.

Answer»

Angular momentum of satellite,

L = mvr = mr\(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}\)

= \((m^2GMr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
