NEET2011PhysicsWork, Power and EnergyActual
Assertion: Total energy is conserved in moving a satellite to higher orbit. Reason : Sum of change in PE and KE is same in magnitude and opposite in nature.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Total energy is given by E=- G M m 2 R where R is the radius of orbit.
