The satellite of mass m is orbiting around the earth in a circular orbit with a velocity v.What will be its total energy ?

A

`(3//4)mv^(2)`

B

`(1//2)mv^(2)`

C

`mv^(2)`

D

`(1//2)mv^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Total energy `=-K.E.`
`K.E.=(|P.E.|)/(2), K.E. =(1)/(2)mv^(2)`
`:.` Total energy `=(-1)/(2)mv^(2)`.
