JEE PYQ: Gravitation Question 9
Question 9 - 2021 (24 Feb Shift 1)
Consider two satellites $S_1$ and $S_2$ with periods of revolution 1 hr and 8 hr respectively revolving around a planet in circular orbits. The ratio of angular velocity of satellite $S_1$ to the angular velocity of satellite $S_2$ is:
(1) 8 : 1
(2) 1 : 8
(3) 2 : 1
(4) 1 : 4
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$. $\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8:1$.
