Question

the total energy of satellite of mass m revolving around the earth is zero it is due to

pls help me clarifying this answer​

Answer 1

total energy of satellite=-GMm/2R=1/2 mv^2+GmM/

since, gravitation potential=GmM/R

-GmM/2R=-pE/2

so,option 1)

if the total energy of the satellite will be zero,,then,it will fall on the earth or will escape in space.....
