<h3><u>Question: </u></h3>
The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth depends on mass. Which mass?
a. The mass of the sun
b. The mass of the satellite
c. The mass of the Earth
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The equation for the speed of a satellite orbiting in a circular path around the earth depends upon the mass of Earth.
Option c
<h3><u>
Explanation:
</u></h3>
Any particular body performing circular motion has a centripetal force in picture. In this case of a satellite revolving in a circular orbit around the earth, the necessary centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and earth. Hence 
.
Gravitational force between Earth and Satellite: 
Centripetal force of Satellite :
Where G = Gravitational Constant
= Mass of Earth
= Mass of satellite
R= Radius of satellite’s circular orbit
V = Speed of satellite
Equating 
, we get
Speed of Satellite 
Thus the speed of satellite depends only on the mass of Earth.
According to law of conservation of energy,
<span>Energy can neither be constructed nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
</span>
<span>At the highest point of the pendulum(point b), pendulum is associated with potential energy only and no kinetic energy.
</span><span>Therefore total energy at point b = potential energy = 711 J.... i
</span>
<span>At the bottom most point(point a), pendulum is associated only with kinetic energy and no potential energy.
</span>Therefore total energy at point a = kinetic energy ---- ii
<span>From i and ii,
</span>Kinetic energy = potential energy = 711 J.(Conserving energy)
Hence kinetic energy at the bottom most point is 711 J.
Hope this helps!!
