Two satellite \(A\) and \(B\) go round a planet in circular orbits having radii \(4 R\) and \(R\) respectively. If the speed of \(\mathrm{A}\) is \(3 v\), the speed of \(\mathrm{B}\) will be _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6 \mathrm{v}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v=\sqrt{\frac{G M}{R}}\)

\(\frac{v_A}{v_B}=\sqrt{\frac{R_B}{R_A}}=\sqrt{\frac{R}{4 R}}=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(v_B=2 v_A=6 v\)
