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

A geostationary satellite is at a height h above the surface of earth. If earth radius is R -

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

The energy required to take a satellite to a height ‘h’ above Earth surface (radius of Earth =6.4xx10^3 km ) is E_1 and kinetic energy required for the satellite to be in a circular orbit at this height is E_2 . The value of h for which E_1 and E_2 are equal, is:

The energy required to take a satelite to a height h above Earth surface (radius of Earth =6.4xx10^(3) km) is E_(1) and kinetic energy required for the satellite to be in a circular orbit at this height is E_(2) . The value of h (in km) for which E_(1) and E_(2) are equal is

If the kinetic energy of a satellite orbiting around the earth is doubled then

At what height above Earth's surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy required for the satellite to be in orbit at that height ?(b) For greater heights, which is greater, the energy for lifting or the kinetic energy for orbiting ?

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:

If W is the weight of a satellite on the surface of the earth, then the energy required to lauch that satellite from the surface of earth into a circular orbit of radius 3R is (here R is the radius of the earth)
