A satellite of mass m revolving with a velocity v around the earth in orbit of radius r. With reference to the above situation, match the Column I (types of energy) with Column II (expression)
Column I | Column II | ||
A. | Kinetic energy of the satellite | I. | |
B. | Potential energy of the satellite | II. | |
C. | Total energy of the satellite | III. | |
D. | Binding energy of the satellite | IV. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
If the velocity of satellite is v and mass m, then
… (i)
Since potential energy of the satellite
Also, total energy 
Binding energy is equal to negative of total mechanical energy of satellite in its orbit.
Thus, binding energy 
Binding energy 
Hence,
