Two particles of the same mass m are moving in circular orbits because of force, given by The first particle is at a distance r = 1, and the second, at r = 4. The best estimate for the ratio of kinetic energies of the first and the second particle is closest to :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Condition for circular motion
For a particle of mass moving in a circular orbit of radius under a central force , the required centripetal force is
since the given force is attractive (negative sign indicates inward direction).
Given:
So its magnitude is
Hence,
Multiplying by :
- Kinetic energy at radius
Kinetic energy is
So for any circular orbit,
- For the first particle:
- For the second particle:
- Ratio of kinetic energies
Now,
This is closest to
- Option check
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is A.
