Two planets, A and B orbit around a star such that time period of \(A\) is 8 times the time period of \(B\). The ratio of orbital velocities of the planets A and B is

  1. A \(4: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 4\)
  3. C \(2: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}=8 \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{B}}\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}^2=64 \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{B}}^2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{A}}^3=64 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{B}}^3 \quad\left[\because \mathrm{T}^2 \propto \mathrm{R}^3\right]\)…
