A central circle represents a planet. Two concentric circular orbits are drawn as dashed lines around the planet. The inner orbit is labeled with a radius vector r from the center of the planet. A dot on the inner orbit is labeled Satellite A. The outer orbit is labeled with a radius vector 4r from the center of the planet. A dot on the outer orbit is labeled Satellite B.
Two satellites, A and B, in circular orbits around a planet with radii r and 4r.
Two research satellites, Satellite A and Satellite B, move in circular orbits around a planet. The orbital radius of Satellite B is four times the orbital radius of Satellite A. If Satellite A has an orbital period \( T \), what is the orbital period of Satellite B?
