Figure shows the variation of energy with the orbit radius r of a satellite in a circular motion. Mark the correct statement.

Options

A. C is total energy .B kinetic energy and A is potenial energy
B. A is kinetic energy, B total energy and C potential energy
C. A and B are the kinetic and potential energies and C the total energy of the satellite.
D. C and A are kinetic and potential energy repectiveluy and B the total energy of the satellite.

Answer

C

Explanation

Kinetic energy is +ve (A)
|total energy| `lt` |P.E.|
`therefore C to` total energy , B the P.E.
