Two particles of identical mass are moving in circular orbits under a potential given by $V(r) = K r^{-n}$,where $K$ is a constant. If the radii of their orbits are $r_1$ and $r_2$ and their speeds are $v_1$ and $v_2$,respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_1^2 r_1^n = v_2^2 r_2^n$
  • B
    $v_1^2 r_1^{-n} = v_2^2 r_2^{-n}$
  • C
    $v_1^2 r_1 = v_2^2 r_2$
  • D
    $v_1^2 r_1^{2-n} = v_2^2 r_2^{2-n}$
