In order to shift a body of mass m from a circular orbit of radius 3R to a higher radius 5R around theearth, the work done is :- |
| Answer» WORK done is shifting a body from an ORBIT of radius 3R to 5R is equal to CHANGE in potential energy of the body.Potential energy =r−GMmwhere M is mass of the EARTH m is mass of satellite r is radius of orbitW= Final potential energy − Initial potential energy W=5R−GMm−(3R−GMm) =RGMm(31−51)=15R2GMmAnswer ByToppr | |
