Critical velocity of a satellite orbiting around the earth (radius R) at a distance of 8 R from the surace is 2.5 km/s. Critical velocity of another satellite orbiting at a height of 15 R from the surface isA. 1.40 km/sB. 1.87 km/sC. 4.44 km/sD. 3.33 km/s

Answer» Correct Answer - b
`(V_(C_(2)))/(V_(C_(1)))=sqrt((r_(1))/(r_(2)))=sqrt((9R)/(16R))=(3)/(4).`
