Two identical satellites $A$ and $B$ revolve round the earth in circular orbits at distance $R$ and $3 R$ from the surface of the earth. The ratio of the linear momenta of $A$ and $B$ is ( $R =$ radius of the earth)

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$p = m v = m \frac{GM}{r}$

$p \propto \frac{1}{r}$

$\frac{p _{A}}{p _{B}} = \frac{R + 3 R}{R + R} = 2$
