NEETPhysicsGravitation
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Total energy is conserved in moving a satellite to higher orbit. Reason (R) : For a satellite change in potential energy and kinetic energy is same in magnitude and opposite in nature. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (( A ) ).
- C(A) is true but (R) is false.
- DBoth (A) and (R) are false.
Correct answer
D. Both (A) and (R) are false.
Step-by-step solution
Work has to be done on a satellite by external agency to shift it in higher orbit. So total energy will not remain conserved.
