Question

Two satellites have their masses in the ratio 3:1. The radii of their circular orbits are in the ratio 1:4. What is the total mechanical energy of A and B?

Answer 1

Answer:

hope this helps you dear

Answer 2

Answer:

So here to find the total energy we may use,

$\displaystyle\sf \underline{\boxed{\sf Total \ Energy = \dfrac{-GMm}{2r}}}$

Also let the two Bodies be A & B

━━━━━━━━━

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{According to the given Question :}}$

We are given that,

⪼ $\displaystyle\sf \dfrac{m_1}{m_2} = \dfrac{3}{1}$

=

1:3
