A satellite orbiting around earth of radius R is shifted to an orbit of radius 2R. How many times the time taken for one revolution increase?

Answer»

`2*5` times
2 times
`2*8` times
8 times.

Solution :ACCORDING to Kepler.s 3rd LAW
`T^(2)prop r^(3) therefore (T_(2))/(T_(1))=((r_(2))/(r_(1)))^(3//2)`
`T_(2)=T((2R)/(R ))^(3//2)`
`RARR T_(2)=2sqrt(2)T=2xx1.41T=2.82T`
Thus correct choice is (c ).
