A satellite of mass `m` is orbiting around the earth at a height `h` above the surface of the earth. Mass of the earth is `M` and its radius is `R`. The angular momentum of the satellite is independent ofA. `m`B. `M`C. `h`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`L=mv_(0)(R+h)`
`=msqrt((GM)/((R+h)))(R+h)=msqrt(GM(R+h))`
i.e., `L` depends on `m,M` as well as `h`
