    Two identical satellite are revolving round the earth at a height of R and 7R from surface of earth. Then which of the following statement is wrong (R is radius of earth)?

    A)  The ratio of total energy of both will 4

    B)  The ratio of K.E. of both will be 4

    C)  The ratio of P.E. of both will be 4

    D)  The ratio of total energy of both will 4 and ratio of K.E. and P.E. will be2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Kinetic energy \[=\frac{1}{2}\frac{G{{M}_{e}}m}{{{R}_{e}}+h}\] Potential energy \[=\frac{G{{M}_{e}}m}{{{R}_{e}}+h}\] \[\therefore \] ratio of potential energy and kinetic energy is \[2:1\].
