Question

Two satellites,Aand B share a circular orbit of radius r, about the center of the earth as shown in the sketch. SatelliteAis more massive than Satellite B. The magnitude of the earth's gravitational force on Satellite Bis o equal to the force on satellite A O greater than the force on Satellite A O less than the force on Satellite A 1 pts Question 2 Two satellites, A and B share a circular orbit of radius r, about the center of the earth as shown in the sketch. Satellite Ais more massive than Satellite B.The acceleration of Satellite B is O equal to that of satellite A O greater than that of Satellite A o less than that of Satellite A

Explanation / Answer

1. The answe is the gravitational force on B is less than that on A because gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass.

2. The acceleration for both the satellites are the same since accleration due to gravity is independent of mass

3. The motions of the two satellites wouldn't alter. The minimum velocity required to sustain them in the orbit depends on the mass of the earth and the radius of the orbit. Not on the radius of the earth.

4. Second option is the correct answer.

5. Answer is D

6. At point a

i would have loved to answe the other questions as well but chegg allows me to answer ony 4 sub parts (Still I am answering 6) per question. Please post the rest of the questions separately. Thank you.
