JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Gravitation Potential

  • question_answer
    For a satellite moving in an orbit around the earth, the ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy is    [CBSE PMT 2005]

    A) 2         

    B)             \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)             \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] 

    D)             \[\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

         For a moving satellite kinetic energy \[=\frac{GMm}{2r}\] Potential energy \[=\frac{-GMm}{r}\] \ \[\frac{\text{Kinetic}\,\text{energy}}{\text{Potential}\,\text{energy}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
