JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

Initially a satellite of 100 kg is in a circular orbit of radius \(1.5 R _{ E }\). This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius \(3 R _{ E }\) by supplying \(\alpha \times 10^6 J\) of energy. The value of \(\alpha\) is _________ .
(Take Radius of Earth \(R_E=6 \times 10^6 m\) and \(g =10 m / s ^2\) )

  1. A 150
  2. B 500
  3. C 100
  4. D 1000
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of a satellite in a circular orbit is given as\(E =\frac{- GM _{ E } m }{2 r } ; r =\) radius of circular orbit Required energy to be supplied \(=\Delta E=E_f-E_i\)…
