The time period of a satellite of earth is \(24\) hours. If the separation between the earth and the satellite is decreased to one fourth of the previous value, then its new time period will become \(.......\,hours\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(T ^2 \propto R ^3\)
\(\frac{ T _1^2}{ T _2^2}=\frac{ R _1^3}{ R _2^3} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{ T _1}{ T _2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{ R }{\frac{ R }{4}}\right)^3\)
\(\frac{ T _1^2}{ T _2^2}=64\)
\(T _2^2=\frac{ T _1^2}{64}\)
\(T _2=\frac{24}{8}=3\)
