Give the expression for the amount of work done on a mass body (m) to shift it from one orbit to another orbit above the Earth's surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`W=GMm(1/r_(1)-1/r_(2)) " where "r_(2)gtr_(1)` and M - is the mass of the Earth and 'm' - mass of the body orbit around the Earth.
