Statement (A) Two artificial satellites revolving in the same circular orbit have same period of revolution.
Statement (B) The orbital velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of radius of the orbit.
Statement (C) The escape velocity of the body is independent of the altitude of the point of projection.

  1. A \(A, B, C\) are true
  2. B A, B true \(C\) false
  3. C \(A, C\) true \(B\) false
  4. D \(B, C\) true \(A\) false
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A, B true \(C\) false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Time period of satellite moving around a planet with angular velocity \(\omega\) is given as, \(T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\) Since, the two artificial satellites revolving in the same circular orbit, then their angular velocities will be same. Hence, both satellites revolve with…
