NEET2008PhysicsWork, Power and EnergyActual
Figure shows the variation of energy with the orbit radius (r ) of a satellite in a circular motion. Mark the correct statement.
Options
- A(C ) is total energy, (B ) kinetic energy and (A ) is potential energy.
- B(A ) is kinetic energy, (B ) total energy and (C ) potential energy.
- C(A ) and (B ) are the kinetic and potential energies and (C ) the total energy of the satellite.
- D(C ) and (A ) are kinetic and potential energy respectively and (B ) the total energy of the satellite.
Correct answer
C. (A ) and (B ) are the kinetic and potential energies and (C ) the total energy of the satellite.
Step-by-step solution
Kinetic energy is +ve (A) Total energy | < | P.E. C total energy, B the P.E.
