Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The value of escape velocity on a certain planet is $2 \,km/s$. Then the value of orbital speed for a satellite orbiting close to its surface is

A

$12\, km/s$

B

$1\, km/s$

C

$\sqrt 2 \,km/s$

D

$2\sqrt 2 \,\,km/s$

The value of escape velocity on a certain planet is $2 \,km/s$. Then the value of orbital speed for a satellite orbiting close to its surface is

$ {v_0} = \frac{{{v_e}}}{{\sqrt 2 }} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 2 }} = \sqrt 2 \;km/s$
