Gravitation 5 Question 11

12. A planet of mass M, has two natural satellites with masses m1 and m2. The radii of their circular orbits are R1 and R2, respectively. Ignore the gravitational force between the satellites. Define v1,L1,K1 and T1 to be respectively, the orbital speed, angular momentum, kinetic energy and time period of revolution of satellite 1; and v2,L2,K2 and T2 to be the corresponding quantities of satellite 2. Given, m1/m2=2 and R1/R2=1/4, match the ratios in List-I to the numbers in List-II.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (b)

Solution:

  1. As, v=GMR

Let R1=R, then R2=4R

If m2=m, then m1=2m

List-I

(P) v1v2=R2R1=4RR=2:1

(Q) L=mvR

L1L2=R(2m)v14R(m)v2=12(2)=1:1

(R) K1K2=12(2m)v1212(m)v22=2(4)=8:1

(S) T1T2=R1R23/2=143/2=1:8
