359711 A satellite in vacuum

1 Is kept in orbit by solar energy
2 Receives energy from gravitational field
3 Is operated by remote control
4 No energy is required for revolving
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359712 Energy of a satellite in circular orbit is \(E_{0}\). The energy required to move the satellite to a circular orbit of 3 times the radius of the initial orbit is

1 \(\frac{2}{3}{E_0}\)
2 \(2{E_0}\)
3 \(\frac{{{E_0}}}{3}\)
4 \(\frac{3}{2}{E_0}\)
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359713 For a satellite moving in an orbit around the earth, the ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy is

1 \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
2 2
3 \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
4 \(\sqrt{2}\)
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359714 Read the Statement - A and Statement - B carefully to mark the correct options given below :
Statement A :
If \(E\) be the total energy of a satellite moving around the earth, then its potential energy will be \(\dfrac{E}{2}\).
Statement B :
The kinetic energy of a satellite revolving in an orbit is equal to the half the magnitude of total energy \(E.\)

1 Both Statement A and Statement B are incorrect.
2 Statement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect.
3 Both Statement A and Statement B are correct.
4 Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct.
