Question

If the time period of two satellite of the earth is 24 hrs and 30 hrs. What is the ratio of their distances from the
earth’s surface

Answer 1

Answer:

Time period of revolution of satellite, T=

GM

e

r

3

where r and M

e

are the radius of the orbit and mass of earth.

Thus time period doesn't depend on the mass of satellite.

⟹ for same time period, radius of the orbit will be same.

Hence r

′

:r=1:1

Answer 2

Answer:

12:15

is the answer I Think so
