A satellite of mass m is moving in circular orbit around the earth with kinetic energy K and its angular momentum is L. What will be the angular momentum of a satellite of mass 4m which is moving in a circular orbit around the earth with kinetic energy 4K.

a
2L
b
4L
c
8L
d
L2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Orbital speed v=GMr⇒GMV2=GMm212mv2=GMm2KAlso,12mv2=K⇒V=2Km∴L=mVr=m.2Km.GMm2K=.GM2K⇒Lα(m)3/2(k)1/2⇒L'L=4mm3/2k4k1/2=4
