    A satellite is a heavily body which revolve around the earth at some height. Suppose a satellite is orbiting around the earth in a circular orbit of radius R from centre of earth then its period of revolution varies as

    A)  \[{{R}^{3/2}}\]                                  

    B)  \[{{R}^{2}}\]                    

    C)  R                                

    D)  \[\sqrt{R}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As given a satellite is orbiting around the earth in a circular orbit of radius from centre of earth, then its period of revolution can be find out by considering its speed given as, Speed of satellite             \[v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}\] \[\therefore \] Its period of revolution is \[=\,\,\,\frac{2\pi R}{v}\] \[=\,\,\,\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}}{{R}^{3/2}}\]
