As we know that as per Newton's II law we have
here we will have
= change in momentum
= time interval in which momentum is changed
now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper
so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least
So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed
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.
