Application +4 | -1
Two particles of identical mass are moving in circular orbits under a potential given by V(r)=Kr−n,V(r)=K r^{-n}, where KK is a constant. If the radii of their orbits are r1⋅r2r_1 \cdot r_2 and their speeds are v1⋅v2v_1 \cdot v_2, respectively. Then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
v12r1n=v22r2nv_1^2 r_1^n=v_2^2 r_2^n
Option A (v12r1n=v22r2nv_1^2 r_1^n=v_2^2 r_2^n) is correct because it correctly relates the speed and radius of the circular orbits under the given potential using the concept of centripetal force.
