JEE Advanced · Physics · 9. Gravitation

Two satellites P and Q are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth(radius R). The heights of P and Q from the Earth surface are hP and hQ, respectively, where hP=R3. The accelerations of P and Q due to Earth’s gravity are gP and gQ, respectively. If gPgQ=3625, what is the value of hQ?

  1. A 3R5
  2. B R6
  3. C 6R5
  4. D 5R5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3R5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acceleration due to gravity at any height from the Earth's surface is given by, g=GMr2, where r=distance from the centre of the Earth. Now, we can write
