A satellite is orbiting closely to earth and having kinetic energy K. the kinetic energy required by it to just overcome the gravitational pull of the earth, is

A satellite is revolving round the earth. Its kinetic energy is E_k . How much energy is required by the satellite such that it escapes out of the gravitational field of earth

A satellite is revolving very close to the earth surface in a circular orbit has potential energy U. Find the change in its mechanical energy if it is made to move away from earth such that its velocity becomes half while going around the earth in a larger circular orbit.

Choose the correct alternative : (a) If the zero of the potential energy is at infinity, the total energy of an orbiting satellite is negative of its kinetic/potential energy. (b) The energy required to rocket an orbiting satellite out of Earth's gravitational influence is more/less than the energy required to project a sationary object at the same height (as the satellite) out of Earth's influence.

From the surface of earth, a body is projected upwards with a kinetic energy equal to one-third of the energy required to escape. Calculate the height up to which the body will rise above the surface of earth.

Let E be the energy required to raise a satellite to height h above earth's surface and E' be the energy required to put the same satellite into orbit at that height. Then E//E' is equal to
