SATHEE: Gravitation Question 236

Gravitation Question 236

Question: A satellite which is geostationary in a particular orbit is taken to another orbit. Its distance from the centre of earth in new orbit is 2 times that of the earlier orbit. The time period in the second orbit is [NCERT 1984; MP PET 1997]

Options:

A) 4.8 hours

B) $[48 \sqrt{2}]$ hours

C) 24 hours

D) $[24 \sqrt{2}]$ hours

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$[T \propto r^{3 / 2}]$ . If r becomes double then time period will becomes (2)3/2 times. So new time period will be $[24 \times 2 \sqrt{2} h r]$ i.e. $[T = 48 \sqrt{2}]$
