If \(R\) is the radius of orbit of a satellite, then the kinetic energy of the satellite is

  1. A \(\propto \frac{1}{R}\)
  2. B \(\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{R}}\)
  3. C \(\propto R\)
  4. D \(\propto \frac{1}{R^{3 / 2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\propto \frac{1}{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, the kinetic energy of satellite revolving around a planet of radius of orbit \(R\) is \(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{G M m}{2 R}\) where, \(M=\) mass of planet, \(m=\) mass of satellite \(R=\) radius of orbit \(G=\) universal gravitational constant.…
