An artificial satellite revolves around a planet for which gravitational force $(F)$ varies with distance $r$ from its centre as $F \propto r^2$. If $v_0$ is its orbital speed,then

  • A
    $v_0 \propto r^{-1/2}$
  • B
    $v_0 \propto r^{3/2}$
  • C
    $v_0 \propto r^{-3/2}$
  • D
    $v_0 \propto r$

Orbital velocity of an artificial satellite does not depend upon

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ rotate around a planet in orbits having radii $4R$ and $R$ respectively. If the speed of satellite $A$ is $3V$,then the speed of satellite $B$ is: (in $V$)

$A$ geostationary satellite:

$A$ satellite is moving in a low nearly circular orbit around the earth. Its radius is roughly equal to that of the earth's radius $R_e$. By firing rockets attached to it,its speed is instantaneously increased in the direction of its motion so that it becomes $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ times larger. Due to this,the farthest distance from the centre of the earth that the satellite reaches is $R$. The value of $R$ is $....R_e$.
