An artificial satellite moving in a circular orbit around the earth has a total (kinetic + potential) energy E_(0). Its potential energy and kinetic energy respectively are

Answer»

`2E_(0) and -2E_(0)`
`-2E_(0) and E_(0)`
`2E_(0) and -E_(0)`
`-2E_(0) and -E_(0)`

Solution :`because` Total energy, `E_(0)=-(GMM)/(2r)`
Potential energy, `U=-(GMm)/(R)=2E_(0)`
KINETIC energy, `K=+(GMm)/(2r)=-E_(0)`.
