If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to \(\frac{1}{R}\) (and not as 1/R2) where \(R\) is the separation between them, then a particle in circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed v proportional to:

1. 1/R2                        

2. R∘

3. R1                             

4. \(1/R\)

Rohini satellite is at a height of 500 km and Insat-B is at a height of 3600 km from the surface of the earth. The relation between their orbital velocity (\(v_R,~v_i\)) is:

1. \(v_R>v_i\)

2. \(v_R<v_i\)

3. \(v_R=v_i\)

4. No relation

Two satellites A and B go around the earth in circular orbits at heights of RA and RB respectively from the surface of the earth. Assuming earth to be a uniform sphere of radius Re, the ratio of the magnitudes of their orbital velocities is:

1.  RBRA

2.  RB+ReRA+Re

3.  RB+ReRA+Re

4.  RARB2

The radii of the circular orbits of two satellites A and B of the earth are \(4R\) and \(R,\) respectively. If the speed of satellite A is \(3v,\) then the speed of satellite B will be:

1. \(3v/4\) 2. \(6v\)
3. \(12v\) 4. \(3v/2\)
