Two satellites of masses m1 and m2 ( m1m2) are revolving around the earth in circular orbits of radii r1 and r2(r1r2) respectively. What is faster v1 or v2?

Question

Two satellites of masses m1 and m2 ( m1>m2) are revolving around the earth in circular orbits of radii r1 and r2(r1>r2) respectively. What is faster v1 or v2?

NAMAN UPADHYAY · Answer

Velocity of a satellite is given by V = sqrt(GM/r) here G = gravitational constant, M = Mass of satellite, r = radius.As bot m1 and r1 ar greater than m2 and r2 .so ans cannot be told without the values of m and r

Tarun · Answer

the above answer is incorrect because M = mass of earth , not sattellitetherefore acc to formula the satellite with grrater radius has greater velocity
