Physics Question from JEE Main 2026 · 22 January, Shift 2

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: A satellite is moving around earth in an orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth.

Statement II: The time period of revolution of the satellite is T=2πRegT = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}} (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where ReR_e is the radius of earth and gg is acceleration due to gravity.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false

  • B

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true

  • C

  • D

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false
