Derive expression for total energy of orbiting satellite

Answer» ETIC ENERGY or total energy of an object in orbit can be found from the following equations: We know that,The Centripetal force on a satellite of mass 'm' moving at VELOCITY ' v ' in an orbit of radius r isF = mv^2/r   But this is equal to the gravitational force ' F ' between the planet mass of M and the satellite. So, we get,F =GMm/r^2 and mv^2= GMm/r But, kinetic energy = ½mv^2So, Satellite's kinetic energy = ½ GMm/r Orbit's kinetic energy = ½ mv^2 = + ½GMm/r All SATELLITES have to be given a tangential velocity ' v ' to maintain their orbit position by the process that is CALLED orbit injection.     Total energy of satellite in orbit = -GMm/2r know more:https://brainly.com/question/1358919 Derive the relationship between g and g
