In a satellite, if the time of revolution is \(T\), then \(\mathrm{KE}\) is proportional to

  1. A \(\frac{1}{T}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{T^{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{T^{3}}\)
  4. D \(T^{-2 / 3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(T^{-2 / 3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity of satellite \(v=\sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}\)
\(\therefore\) \(\mathrm{KE} \propto v^{2} \propto \frac{1}{r} \text { and } T^{2} \propto r^{3}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{KE} \propto T^{-2 / 3}\)
