In an orbit if the time of revolution of a satellite is $T$, then $P E$ is proportional to

A

$T^{1 / 3}$

B

$T^3$

C

$T^{-2 / 3}$

D

$T^{-4 / 3}$

Solution

(c)

$P E=-\frac{G M M}{\gamma}$

$T^2 \propto \gamma^3$

$P E=\frac{C}{\gamma}-(1)$

$T^2=kr^3$

$T^2=K\left(\frac{C}{P E}\right)^3$

$T^2=\frac{A}{(P E)^3}$

$(P E)^3= \frac{A}{T^2}$

$P E=\frac{A^{1 / 3}}{T^{2 / 3}}$

$P E \propto \frac{1}{-T^{2 / 3}}$

$P E \propto T^{\frac{-2}{3}}$
