Physics Question on Gravitation

A satellite of mass msm_{s} is moving in an orbit of radius RR, then its angular momentum:

A

GMemsR\sqrt{G M_{e} m_{s} R}

B

GMems2R\sqrt{G M_{e} m_{s}^{2} R}

C

GMems2R\sqrt{\frac{G M_{e} m_{s}^{2}}{R}}

D

GMemsR\sqrt{\frac{G M_{e} m_{s}}{R}}

Answer

GMems2R\sqrt{G M_{e} m_{s}^{2} R}

Explanation

Solution

Angular momentum of a satellite =GMeMs2R=\sqrt{G M_{e} M_{s}^{2} R}
