  • question_answer
    A satellite of mass m, revolving round a planet of mass M in a circular orbit of radius r, then orbital velocity of the satellite is:

    A)  \[\frac{mg}{r}\]              

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}\]             

    D)         \[\frac{GM}{r}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Orbital velocity \[{{\upsilon }_{o}}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}\] r = radius of circular path.
