A) \[A-1,\,B-2,\,C-3\]
B) \[B-1,\,A-3,\,C-2\]
C) \[B-1,\,A-2,\,C-3\]
D) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Potential energy of two particles system is given by, \[U=-\frac{G{{M}_{1}}{{M}_{2}}}{r}.\] The potential energy of spacecraft and asteroid A When they are at minimum separation, \[{{U}_{A}}=-\frac{GMm}{R}\] The potential energy of spacecraft and asteroid B When they are at minimum separation, \[{{U}_{B}}=-\frac{GMm}{2R}\] The potential energy of spacecraft and asteroid C When they are at minimum separation, \[{{U}_{C}}=-\frac{GM2m}{R}\] The potential energy will be Minimum for (3), Energy will be Maximum for (2).You need to login to perform this action.
