A satellite is orbiting close to the earth and has a kinetic energy K. The minimum extra kinetic energy required by it to just overcome the gravitation pull of the earth is

Answer»

`sqrt(3)K`
`k`
`2 sqrt(2) k`
`2K`

Solution :Applying conservation of energy ,` K_("EXTRA") + K_("ORBITAL") + U_("gravitational")~~0`
` K_("entre ")= (GMM)/(R )-K = 2K - K =K`
