STANDARD Physics Satellite Motion Match the Following Question
Match Column I with Column II. For a satellite in circular orbit,
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| (A) Kinetic energy | (p) -GMₑm/2r |
| (B) Potential energy | (q) √(GMₑ/r) |
| (C) Total energy | (r) -GMₑm/r |
| (D) Orbital velocity | (s) GMₑm/2r |
A-r, B-s, C-q, D-p
A-q, B-p, C-r, D-s
A-p, B-q, C-s, D-r
A-s, B-r, C-p, D-q
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a circular orbit, kinetic energy is given by GMₑm/2r, potential energy by -GMₑm/r, total energy by -GMₑm/2r, and orbital velocity by √(GMₑ/r). Matching these with the given options leads to the correct answer.
