The ratio of the K.E. required to the given to the satellite to escape earth's gravitational field to the K.E. required to be given so that the satellite moves in a circular orbit just above earth atmosphere is

A

one

B

two

C

half

D

infinity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`"K.E. "=(1)/(2)mv^(2)=mgR,`
`"K.E."_("circular orbit")=(1)/(2)"m gR"`
`=(1)/(2)"m gR."`
The ratio betwenn two energies = 2
