For a satellite in circular orbit

(where `M_(E)` is the mass of the earth , m is the mass of the satellite and r is the radius of the orbit )

Options

A. Kinetic energy ` = - (GM_E m)/(2 r)`
B. Potential energy ` = (GM_Em)/(2r)`
C. Total energy ` = - (GM_E m)/( r)`
D. Orbital velocity ` = sqrt((GM_E)/( r))`

Answer

B

Explanation

Potential energy ` = (GM_Em)/(2r)`
