Question:medium
The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance \( r \) from the center is \( L \). If the distance is increased to \( 16r \), then the new angular momentum will be:
The orbital angular momentum of a satellite revolving at a distance \( r \) from the center is \( L \). If the distance is increased to \( 16r \), then the new angular momentum will be:
Show Hint
The angular momentum of a satellite depends on both the distance from the center and the square root of the distance. If the distance is increased by a factor, the angular momentum changes by the square root of that factor.
