A satellite has kinetic energy K, potential energy V and total energy E. Which of the following statements is true ?

Answer»

`K=-V//2`
`K=V//2`
`E=-K//2`
`E=-K//2`

Solution :As potential energy of SATELLITE, `V=(GMm)/(r )`
Kinetic energy of satellite, `K=(GMm)/(2r)`
Total energy of satellite, `E-K+V`
`E=(GMm)/(2r)-(GMm)/(r )=-(GMm)/(2r)" or "K+V=(V)/(2), :. K=-(V)/(2)`.
