Vedclass · Answer

(A) The potential energy $(U)$ of a satellite at a distance $r$ from the center of the Earth is given by $U = -\frac{GMm}{r}$. Since the gravitational force is attractive,the potential energy is always negative.The kinetic energy $(K)$ of a satellite is given by $K = \frac{GMm}{2r}$. Since $G, M, m,$ and $r$ are all positive,the kinetic energy is always positive.The total energy $(TE)$ of the satellite is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies:$TE = K + U = \frac{GMm}{2r} - \frac{GMm}{r} = -\frac{GMm}{2r}$.Thus,the total energy is always negative.The gravitational potential energy of a satellite at infinity $(r = \infty)$ is:$U = -\frac{GMm}{\infty} = 0$.Comparing these results with the given columns:$A$ (Potential energy) $\rightarrow II$ (Negative)$B$ (Total energy) $\rightarrow II$ (Negative)$C$ (Kinetic energy) $\rightarrow I$ (Positive)$D$ (Potential energy at infinity) $\rightarrow III$ (Zero)The correct matching is $A-II, B-II, C-I, D-III$.
