46.By what percent the energy of the satellite has to be increased to shift it from an orbit of radius 'r' to 3r/2 --------
47.At what height from the surface of earth, the total energy of satellite is equal to its potential energy at a height 2R from the surface of earth (R=radius of earth)-------

46.Let mass of the satellite be mTotal energy of the satellite = 12Iω2+(GMmr) for a mass moving in a circle, MI about its center I=mr2 =>E1=12mr2ω2GMmr 1. Again,Satellite's centripetal force must balance the gravitational pullmω2r=GMmr2=>ω2=GMr3 2.From eqn. 1 and eqn. 2E1=12mr2GMr3GMmr=12GMmrAt  1.5rE2=GMm3rΔE=E2E1=GMm3r(12GMmr)=>ΔE=GMm6rΔE|E|%=GMm6rGMm2r×100=1003=33.3% (approx) will have to be increased

47. Height 2R from surface of the earth = 3R from center of the earth.Potential energy of the satellite= GMm3RTotal energy of a satellite at a distance r from the center = 12GMmrA/q 12GMmr=GMm3R=>r=32RFrom the surface of the earth the distance will be rR32RR=R2
