Find the binding energy of a satellite of mass `m` in orbit of radius `r`, (R = radius of earth, g = acceleration due to gravity)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the binding energy of a satellite of mass \( m \) in an orbit of radius \( r \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Binding Energy**: The binding energy of a satellite is defined as the energy required to remove the satellite from its orbit to infinity. This is equivalent to the negative of the total energy of the satellite in its orbit. 2. **Total Energy of the Satellite**: ...
