Radius of orbit of satellite of earth is R . Its kinetic energy is proportional to

Step-by-step solution

Gravitational force provides the required centripetal force. The gravitational force provides the required centripetal force in orbit of earth. G M_e M R^2 = m v₀^2 R v₀= G M_e R kinetic energy = 1 2 m v₀^2 KE = 1 2 m ( G M_ e R )^ 2 / 2 = 1 2 m G M_e R K E 1 R
