Dear Student,

Mass of planet, M=5×1030 kgmass of satellite, m=200 kgradius, R=6
6×106 mBinding energy of satellite, BE=GMm2RBE=6
67×10-11×5×1030×2002×6
6×106BE=5 05×1015 J

A satellite of mass 200 Kg revolves around a planet of mass 5 *1030 Kg in a circular orbit of radius 6.6 * 106 m. binding energy of satellite is A) 5 * 1015 J B) -5 * 1015 J C) 1016 J D) -1016 J
