medium
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.
