The additional kinetic energy to be provided to a satellite of mass $m$ revolving around a planet of mass $M$ to transfer it from a circular orbit of radius $R_{1}$ to another of radius $R_{2} (R_{2} > R_{1})$ is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$As - \frac{GM m}{2 R _{1}} + KE = \frac{- GM m}{2 R _{2}} KE = \frac{1}{2} GM m (\frac{1}{R _{1}} - \frac{1}{R _{2}}) .$
