Question

A satellite is in an orbit around the earth if its kinetic energy is doubled then

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:hope this would help u

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The total energy of a satellite in any orbit, E = - K,

                                                where K is its KE in that orbit.

If its kinetic energy is doubled,  

i.e.  

an additional kinetic energy {K) is given to it,

E = — K + K — 0  

and  hence the satellite will leave its orbit and go to infinity.
