A 400 kg satellite is in a circular orbit of radius `2 R_(E)` about the Earth. How much energy is required to transfer it to a circular orbit of radius `4R_(E)` ? What are the changes in the kinetic and potential energies ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Change in kinetic energy `=- 8.33 xx 10^(9) J` , change in potential energy `DeltaV = 1.67 xx 10^(10) J` )
