The orbital velocity of a planet revolving

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The orbital velocity of a planet revolving close to earth's surface is

A

$\sqrt {2\,gR} $

B

$\sqrt {gR} $

C

$\sqrt {\frac{{2g}}{R}} $

D

$\sqrt {\frac{g}{R}} $

The orbital velocity of a planet revolving close to earth's surface is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}$

$m \frac{v^{2}}{r}=\frac{G M m}{r^{2}} \quad v=\sqrt{\frac{G m}{R}}$

$g=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$  $\left(g R^{2}\right)$

$v=\sqrt{g R}$
