 Question No. 15 to 17 (3 questions)
Two satellites A and B are revolving around the earth in circular orbits of radius
r1 and r2 respectively with r1 < r2. Plane of motion of the two are same. At
position 1, A is given an impulse in the direction of velocity by firing a rocket so
that it follows an elliptical path to meet B at position 2 as shown. Focal lengths
of the elliptical path are r1 and r2 respectively. At position 2, A is given another
impulse so that velocities of A and B at 2 become equal and the two move
together.
For any elliptical path of the satellite time period of revolution is given by Kepler's planetary law as T2
r r
 r3 where a is semi major axis of the ellipse which is 1 2 in this case. Also angular momentum of any
2
satellite revolving around the Earth will remain a constant about Earth's centre as force of gravity on the
satellite which keeps it in elliptical path is along its position vector relative to the earth centre.

Q.15grav When A is given its first impulse at that moment

(B) B is ahead of A angularly
(C) B is behind A angularly
(D) none of these

Q.16 If the two have same mass

(A) A would have more potential energy than B while on their initial circular paths.
(B*) A would have more kinetic energy than B while on their initial circular paths.
(C*) Relative to Earth's centre, angular momentum of A when it is in elliptical path would be less than
angular momentum of B.
(D) During the whole process angular momentum of B would be more than angular momentum of A.
