Question

A satellite of mass 200kg completes a circular orbit of the Earth in 120 minutes. A 400 kg satellite is then put into orbit at the same height above the Earth. Which of the following represents the time, in minutes, for the 400 kg satellite to complete a circular orbit?

Answer 1

Answer:

120 minutes

Explanation:

Mass has no effect on the velocity of orbit of an object. Hence, both the satellites will orbit in the same time.
