Assertion : The binding energy of a sa...

Assertion : The binding energy of a satellite does not depend upon the mass of the satellite.
Reason : Binding energy is the negative value of total energy of satellite.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Binding energy `=(GMm)/R=` – [Total energy of satellite] and it depends upon the mass of the satellite.
