359723 The potential energy of a satellite of mass \(m\) and revolving at a height \(R_{e}\) above the surface of earth where \(R_{e}=\) radius of earth, is

1 \( - mg\,{{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} _e}\)
2 \(\dfrac{-m g R_{e}}{2}\)
3 \(\frac{{ - mg\,{R_e}}}{3}\)
4 \(\frac{{ - mg\,{R_e}}}{4}\)

359724 Two satellites \(A\) and \(B\) move round the earth in the same orbit. The mass of \(A\) is twice the mass of \(B\). The quantity which is same for the two satellites will be

1 speed
2 potential energy
3 total energy
4 kinetic energy
PHXI08:GRAVITATION

359725 Assertion :
If an earth satellite moves to a lower orbit, there is some dissipation of energy but the satellite speed increases.
Reason :
The speed of satellite is a constant quantity.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.

359726 A satellite of mass \(m\) is in a circular orbit of radius \(2 R_{E}\) about the earth. The energy required to transfer it to a circular orbit of radius \(4 R_{E}\) is (where \(M_{E}\) and \(R_{E}\) is the mass and radius of the earth respectively):

1 \(\dfrac{G M_{E} m}{2 R_{E}}\)
2 \(\dfrac{G M_{E} m}{4 R_{E}}\)
3 \(\dfrac{G M_{E} m}{8 R_{E}}\)
4 \(\dfrac{G M_{E} m}{16 R_{E}}\)
