An earth satellite is movewd from one stable circular orbit to another larger and stable circular orbit. The following quantities increase for the satellite a result of this changeA. gravitational potential energyB. angular velocityC. linera orbital velocityD. centripetal acceleration

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`U=-(GMm)/(r )` ltbRgt `omega= sqrt((GM)/(r_(3)))`
`v= sqrt((GM)/(r )), a_(1) = r omega^(2)`
so only option (A) is correct.
