A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upward with an initial speed u from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of earth), it ejects a rocket of mass m/10 so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is (G = gravitational constant; M is the mass of earth) |
