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 _______.

  1. A \(\frac{4}{3} v\)
  2. B \(3 v\)
  3. C \(6 \mathrm{v}\)
  4. D \(12 v\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v=\sqrt{\frac{G M}{R}}\) \(\frac{v_A}{v_B}=\sqrt{\frac{R_B}{R_A}}=\sqrt{\frac{R}{4 R}}=\frac{1}{2}\) \(v_B=2 v_A=6 v\)
