For a satellite moving in an orbit around the earth, the ratio of kinetic energy of potential

A

2

B

`1 : 2`

C

`1 : sqrt2`

D

`sqrt2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(GMm)/R^(2) = momega^(2)R`
K.E `= 1/2 Iomega^(2) = 1/2 mR^(2) omega^(2) = (GMm)/(2R)`
P.E `= - (GMm)/(R) rArr So (K.E)/(|P.E|) = 1/2`
