A satellite moves in a circular orbit around earth. The radius of this orbit is one half that of moon's orbit. The satellite completes one revolution in:
The correct option is A. (2) 2/3 lunar month
According to the Kepler's law of periods,
T2∝r3
where T = Time period of the orbiting planet
r = Radius of the orbit
Let the radius of the moon's orbit be a, so that the radius of the satellite's orbit is a/2.
