Q. The time period of a satellite increases if

किसी उपग्रह की समयावधि बढ़ जाती है यदि

Height increases
ऊंचाई बढ़ती है

Mass increases
मास बढ़ता है

Radius decreases
त्रिज्या घट जाती है

Weight increases
वजन बढ़ता है

Time period $T$ of a satellite depends on the radius $r$ of its orbit by the formula:

T \propto r^{3/2}

Since $r = R_{\text{Earth}} + \text{height}$ , increasing height increases $r$ , so time period $T$ increases.
