1.

The energy required to move an earth satellites of mass m from a circular orbit of radius 2 R to a radius 3 R is `" "` (R is radius of the earth)A. `(GMm)/(R)`B. `(GMm)/(2R)`C. `(GMm)/(12R)`D. `(GMm)/(4R)`

Answer» Correct Answer - c
`E(2)-E_(1)=-(GMm)/(2r_(2))+(GMm)/(2r_(1))`
`=-(GMm)/(6R)+(GMm)/(4R)`
`=(GMm)/(2R)((1)/(2)-(1)/(3))=(GMm)/(12R)`.
