Gravitation · Potential energy, potential, escape, satellites
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A satellite is moving around earth in the orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth.
Statement II : The time period of revolution of the satellite is (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where radius of earth and acceleration due to gravity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (1)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- (2)Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- (3)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- (4)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
