Two satellites of earth, $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are moving in the same orbit. The mass of $S_{1}$ of four times the mass of $S_{2}$ . Which one of the following statements is true?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$K . E . = \frac{GM m}{2 r}$ $\Rightarrow$ Kinetic energies are unequal $T = \frac{2 π r ^{3/2}}{GM} \Rightarrow Time period are equal P.E. = - \frac{GM m}{r} \Rightarrow Potential energies are unequal V = \frac{GM}{r} \Rightarrow orbital speeds are equal.$
