When a satellite going around the earth in a circular orbit of radius \(r\) and speed \(v\) loses some of its energy, then
1 \(r\) and \(v\) both increase
2 \(r\) and \(v\) both decrease
3 \(r\) will increase and \(v\) will decrease
4 \(r\) will decrease and \(v\) will increase
Explanation:
As the satellite come close towards the earth then its \(P.E\) decreases and \(K.E\) increases.
