|
The period of a satellite in a circular orbit around a planet is independent of:
|
|
The radius of the planet
|
|
|
The mass of the planet
|
|
|
The mass of the satellite
|
|
|
All of these
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, time period is independent of mass of satellite.
Detailed explanation-2: -From the formula, we know that the time period is independent of the mass of the satellite, and it depends on the radius of the orbit and the mass of the body around which it is orbiting.
Detailed explanation-3: -The orbital velocity of the satellite is independent of the mass of satellite. Because the orbital velocity of the satellite is given by v0=√gR. Hence, it is independent of mass of the satellite.
