For a satellite moving in an orbit around the earth at height ' h ' the ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy is

Step-by-step solution

Let M _ e = Mass of earth m = Mass of satellite R _ e = Radius of earth G = Gravitational constant Potential Energy, U = GM _ e ~m R _ c Kinetic Energy, aligned & K = 1 2 GM _ e ~m R _ e & ~K U = 1 GM _ e ~m 2 R _ e GM _ e ~m & U = 2 K aligned
