Answer:
The correct answer is V√5
Explanation:
Let V be the velocity of the satellite orbiting at radius r.
Let V(5r) be the velocity of the satellite orbiting at radius 5r.
Recall:
Escape velocity is given by:
V = √(2gr)
Where V is the escape velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
r is the radius of the earth.
With the above equation, we can obtain the answer to the question as follow:
V = √(2gr)
V(5r) = √(2g5r)
Next, we'll obtained the ratio of V(5r) to V as shown below
V(5r) : V => V(5r)/V
V(5r)/V = √(2g5r) / √(2gr)
V(5r)/V = √5
Cross multiply
V(5r) = V√5
From the above illustration, we can see that when the satellite is moved to 3r, then the expression for the velocity will be V√5
