  • A
    $3v/2$
  • B
    $4v/2$
  • C
    $6v$

$A$ geostationary satellite above the equator is orbiting around the earth at a fixed distance $r_1$ from the center of the earth. $A$ second satellite is orbiting in the equatorial plane in the opposite direction to the earth's rotation,at a distance $r_2$ from the center of the earth,such that $r_1 = 1.21 r_2$. The time period of the second satellite as measured from the geostationary satellite is $\frac{24}{p}$ hours. The value of $p$ is $....$

What is a geostationary satellite? What is the orbital period of a geostationary satellite?

$A$ planet moving along an elliptical orbit is closest to the sun at a distance $r_1$ and farthest away at a distance of $r_2$. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the linear velocities at these points respectively,then the ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is

Two satellites are launched at a distance $R$ from a planet of negligible radius. Both satellites are launched in the tangential direction. The first satellite launches correctly at a speed $v_0$ and enters a circular orbit. The second satellite,however,is launched at a speed $\frac{1}{2}v_0$. What is the minimum distance between the second satellite and the planet over the course of its orbit?
