A satellite of mass $m$ is orbiting the earth (of radius $R$ ) at a height $h$ from its surface. The total energy of the satellite in terms of $g_{0}$ , the value of acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface, is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$E = - \frac{GM m}{2 r}$

$r = R + h, GM = g_{0} R^{2}$

$E = - \frac{m g _{0} R ^{2}}{2 ( R + h )}$
