The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.

A 61.5 KG student sits at a desk 1.2 5M away from a 70.0 KG student. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between th
muminat

mass of two students are

m_1 = 61.5 kg

m_2 = 70 kg

distance between them is given as

r = 1.25 m

now gravitational force between them is given as

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

now plug in all values

F = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 61.5 \times 70}{1.25^2}

F = 1.84 \times 10^{-7} N

so above is the force of gravitation between them
