If the orbital speed of a body revolving in a circular path near the surface of the earth is \(8 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\), then the orbital speed of a body revolving around the earth in a circular orbit at height of \(19,200 \mathrm{~km}\) from the surface of earth is (Radius of the earth \(=6400 \mathrm{~km}\) )

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(6 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(7.5 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(9 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_2 = v_1 \sqrt{\frac{R_E}{R_E + h}}\) \(v_2 = 8 \mathrm{kms}^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{6400 \mathrm{~km}}{6400 \mathrm{~km} + 19200 \mathrm{~km}}}\) \(v_2 = 8 \mathrm{kms}^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{6400 \mathrm{~km}}{25600 \mathrm{~km}}}\) \(v_2 = 8 \mathrm{kms}^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\)…
