Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. Onesatellite orbits with a speed vat a distance rfrom the center of the earth. The second satellite travels at aspeed that is less than v. At what distance from the center of the earth does the secondsatellite orbit?
a) At a distance that is less than r.
b) At a distance equal to r.
c) At a distance greater than r.

c) At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

If G= Gravitational constant

M= Mass of earth

r= distance from earth center

then orbital speed is ;

v =

==> v²=GM/r

If speed of first satellite = V₁

==> V₁² = GM/r

==> r = GM/V₁²

If speed of second satellite say V₂ is less than V₁ then square of V₂ will be less than square of V₁ , and hence GM will be divided by less number in case of second satellite, and hence will give greater value of r as compared to first satellite.

So our answer is c

the assestment will probley apele with cause and effect

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
