Two satellitesAandBhaving masses in the ratio4:3are revolving in circular orbits of radii3rand4rrespectively around the earth. The ratio of total mechanical energy ofAtoBis

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Given that m1 m2=43,r1r2=34

Now the total energy of a satellite TE=12mvo2+-GMmr

Since the orbital speed of a satellite vo=GMr

TE=-GMm2rmr

TE1TE2=m1 m2·r2r1=43×43=169
