Questions  

A satellite is moving in circular orbit around the earth with orbital speed v. It radius of earth is R and acceleration due to gravity on its surface is g, then height of the satellite above the surface of earth is 

a
2gR2V2-R2
b
gR2V2-R
c
2gR2V2-R
d
gR2V2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

(2)Orbital  speed   V= GMr       Now  g= GMR2  ⇒   GM=gR2Also,   r=R+h∴    V= gR2R+h  ⇒   h=  gR2V2−R
