The time period of an earth satellite in circular orbit is independent ofA. the mass of the satelliteB. radius of the orbitC. none of theseD. both of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Time period of an earth satellite is given by
`T^(2)=(4pi^(2))/(GM_(E ))(R_(E )+h)^(3)`
or `T=2pi(R_(E)+h)^(3//2)/sqrt(GM_(E))`
hence time period is independent of mass of the satellite
