$A$ satellite of mass $m$ rotates around the Earth in a circular orbit of radius $R$. If the angular momentum of the satellite is $J$,then its kinetic energy $(K)$ and the total energy $(E)$ of the satellite are:

  • A
    $K=\frac{J^2}{m R^2}, E=-\frac{J^2}{2 m R^2}$
  • B
    $K=\frac{J^2}{2 m R^2}, E=-\frac{J^2}{2 m R^2}$
  • C
    $K=\frac{J^2}{2 m R^2}, E=-\frac{J^2}{m R^2}$
  • D
    $K=\frac{J^2}{2 m R^2}, E=\frac{J^2}{m R^2}$
