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)------- Share with your friends Share 0 Somnath physics answered this 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=12mr2ω2−GMmr −−−1. Again,Satellite's centripetal force must balance the gravitational pullmω2r=GMmr2=>ω2=GMr3 −−−2.From eqn. 1 and eqn. 2E1=12mr2GMr3−GMmr=−12GMmrAt 1.5rE2=−GMm3rΔE=E2−E1=−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 r−R32R−R=R2 0 View Full Answer
