Orbital velocity of satellite -

V=sqrt{frac{GM}{r}}

r=R+h

r ightarrow Position of satellite from the centre of earth

V ightarrow Orbital velocity

- wherein

The velocity required to put the satellite into its orbit around the earth.

 

 Foe satelite A

r_{A}=4R      V_{A}=3V

V_{A}=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r_{A}}}

For satelite B

r_{B}=R      V_{B}=?

V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r_{B}}}

\frac{V_{B}}{V_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}}}

= V_{B}=V_{A}\sqrt{\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}}}=3V\sqrt{\frac{4R}{R}}

V_{B}=3V\times 2=6V

V_{B}=6V
