Two satellites $A$ and $B$ move round the earth in the same orbit. The mass of $A$ is twice the mass of $B$. The quantity which is same for the two satellites will be :

A

Potential energy

B

Total energy

C

Kinetic energy

D

Speed

(JEE MAIN-2023)

Solution

P.E $=-\frac{G M M_p M_A}{R}$

$K.E=+\frac{G M_p M_A}{2 R}$

$T.E =-\frac{ GM _{ p } M _{ A }}{2 R }$

Speed $=v=\sqrt{\frac{G M_p}{R}}$

Speed of satellite in Independent of mass of satellite.
