Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ go round a planet in circular orbits having radii $4R$ and $R$, respectively. If the speed of satellite $A$ is $3v$, then speed of satellite $B$ is

A

$\frac{{3v}}{2}$

B

$\frac{{4v}}{2}$

C

$6v$

D

$12v$

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ go round a planet in circular orbits having radii $4R$ and $R$, respectively. If the speed of satellite $A$ is $3v$, then speed of satellite $B$ is

$\frac{{{v_B}}}{{{v_A}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{r_A}}}{{{r_B}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4R}}{R}} = 2$

${v_B} = 2 \times {v_A} = 2 \times 3v = 6v$
