Concept explainers
The satellite’s kinetic energy at another point in its orbit.
Answer to Problem 43A
The kinetic energy at another point in its orbit is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The gravitational potential energy at a particular point is
The kinetic energy at a particular point is
The satellite’s potential energy at another point is
Formula used:
The expression for total energy is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the total energy remains constant when it changes one point to another point.
The satellite’s kinetic energy at a another point using the relation is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the kinetic energy at another point in its orbit is
