Two satellite A and B go round a planet P in circular orbits having radii 4R and R respectively. If the speed of the satellite A is 3v, the speed of the satellite B will beA. 12 vB. 6 vC. `(4)/(3)` vD. `(3)/(2)` v

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Orbital velocity, `v=sqrt((GM)/(R))rArr(v_(A))/(v_(B))=sqrt((R_(B))/(R_(A)))=sqrt((R)/(4R))=(1)/(2)`
`:. (v_(A))/(v_(B))=(3v)/(v_(B))=(1)/(2)rArr v_(B)=6v`.
