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 \[KE=\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2}\] ... (i) where \[{{v}_{o}}=\sqrt{\left( \frac{GM}{R} \right)}\] Now putting the value of \[{{v}_{0}}\] in Eq. (i), we get \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \sqrt{\left( \frac{GM}{R} \right)} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\frac{mGM}{2}\] Hence, \[KE\propto \frac{1}{R}\]
