Consider an isolated system of earth and a satellite such that the satellite revolves about stationary earth in a circular orbit. Neglect rotation of earth about its axis and assume both earth and satellite to be solid spherical bodies with uniform mass distribution. For the given system, match the statements in Column-I with the statements in Column-II.
Column-I | Column-II | ||
(I) | Time period of revolution of satellite around earth is | (P) | Independent of mass of satellite |
(II) | Orbital speed of satellite is | (Q) | Independent of radius of orbit |
(III) | Total mechanical energy of system of earth and satellite | (R) | Dependent on mass of earth |
(IV) | Magnitude of gravitation field at centre of satellite is | (S) | Independent of mass of earth |
