Answer:
The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is
Solution:
As per the question:
The orbit of the two satellites is circular
Also,
Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B
(1)
Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:
where
R = Radius of the orbit
Now,
For satellite A:
Using eqn (1):
(2)
For satellite B:
(3)
Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):
1) The average velocity is
2) The instantaneous velocity is
Explanation:
1)
The average velocity of an object is given by
where
d is the displacement
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function
where t is the time.
The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is
While the position at time t = 12 sec is
So, the displacement is
And therefore the average velocity is
2)
The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.
The position vector is
By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:
Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.
