JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 20th July Evening Shift - No. 3)

A satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius R around earth, while a second satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius 1.02 R. The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites is :
1.5
2.0
0.7
3.0

Explanation

$${T^2} \propto {R^3}$$

$$T = k{R^{3/2}}$$

$${{dT} \over T} = {3 \over 2}{{dR} \over R}$$

$$ = {3 \over 2} \times 0.02 = 0.03$$

% Change = 3%
