Question

The satellite's orbital velocity does not depend upon:

  1. The radius of the path
  2. Mass of the Earth
  3. Mass of the satellite
  4. Acceleration due to gravity

hintHint:

The formula of orbital velocity details the factors on which orbital velocity of a satellite is dependent upon.

The correct answer is: Mass of the satellite


    Orbital velocity is given by v equals square root of fraction numerator G M over denominator r end fraction end root
    where:
    G = Acceleration due to gravity,
    M = Mass of the body in the center, and
    r = radius of the orbit.
    Hence, orbital velocity of a satellite does not depend upon the mass of the satellite.
