A satellite of mass `m` is orbiting the earth in a circular orbit of radius `r`. It starts losing energy due to small air resistance at the rate of `C J//s`. Then the time teken for the satellite to reach the earth is........... |

Answer» Correct Answer - `[1/R-1/r]` `E=-(GMm)/(2r)` `(dE)/(dt)=(GMm)/2 1/(r^(2)) (dr)/(dt)` `int_(0)^(t)dt=(GMm)/(2C)int_(r)^(R)(dr)/(r^(2))` `t=(GMm)/(2C)[1/R-1/r]=(GMm)/(2C)[1/R=1/r]` |
