The percentage increase in the energy for an artificial satellite to shift it from an orbit of radius \(r\) to an orbit of radius \(\frac{3 r}{2}\) is

  1. A \(66.7\)
  2. B \(50\)
  3. C \(33.33\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(33.33\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of an artificial satellite is given as \[ \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{GMm}}{2 \mathrm{r}} \] Orbit of radius \(r, E_1=\frac{G M m}{2 r}\) Orbit of radius \(\frac{3 \mathrm{r}}{2}, \frac{\mathrm{GMm}}{2 \times \frac{3}{2} \mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{GMm}}{3 \mathrm{r}}\)…
