    Radius of orbit of satellite of earth is R. Its kinetic energy is proportional to:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{R}\]   

    B)                                         \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{R}}\]                    

    C)  R                           

    D)         \[\frac{1}{{{R}^{3/2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Kinetic energy of the satellite \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m\upsilon _{0}^{2}\]                                      ?(1) Now putting the value of \[{{v}_{0}}\]is eq. (1), we get \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{mGM}{R}\] Hence, \[KE\propto \frac{1}{R}\]
