The ratio of the kinetic energy required to be given to a satellite to escape from the earths gravity to the kinetic energy required to be given to it so that it moves in a circular orbit just above the eart's surface is:

The ratio of energy required to raise a satellite to a height h above the earth surface to that required to put it into the orbit is

Let E be the energy required to raise a satellite to height h above earth's surface and E' be the energy required to put the same satellite into orbit at that height. Then E//E' is equal to

If a satellite is moving around thee earth in an orbit of 5 R radius , here R = radius of the earth . The minimum kinetic energy required to be provided to the satellite such that it escapes the gravitational field of the earth is ( M and m are masses of earth and satellite respectively )

The ratio of the energy required to raise a satellite upto a height h above the surface of earth to that the kinetic energy of the satellite into the orbit there is (R=radius of earth)

Energy of a satellite in circular orbit is E_(0) . The energy required to move the satellite to a circular orbit of 3 times the radius of the initial orbit is

Choose the correct alternative : (a) If the zero of the potential energy is at infinity, the total energy of an orbiting satellite is negative of its kinetic/potential energy. (b) The energy required to rocket an orbiting satellite out of Earth's gravitational influence is more/less than the energy required to project a sationary object at the same height (as the satellite) out of Earth's influence.

Define orbital velocity of a satellite. Derive expressions for the orbital velocity of a satellite. Show that the escape velocity of a body from the earth's surface is sqrt2 times its velocity in a circular orbit just above the earth's surface.
