$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is at a distance of $a$ from a star of mass $M$. The speed of the satellite is $u$. Suppose the law of universal gravity is $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^{2.1}}$ instead of $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$. Find the speed of the satellite when it is at a distance $b$ from the star.

  • A
    $\sqrt{u^2 + 2GM(\frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}})}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{1.1}GM(\frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}})}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{2.1}GM(\frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}})}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{1.1}GM(\frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{a})}$

Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method,where one monitors a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius $R$ and the parent star has a radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on Earth due to the parent star,then as the exoplanet transits:
