Two particles of the same mass are moving in circular orbits because of a force given by $F(r) = -\frac{16}{r} - r^3$. The first particle is at a distance $r = 1$,and the second is at $r = 4$. The best estimate for the ratio of kinetic energies of the first and the second particle is closest to:

  • A
    $10^{-1}$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-2}$
  • C
    $6 \times 10^{2}$
  • D
    $3 \times 10^{-3}$
