The correct graph representing the variation of total energy $(E_T)$ , kinetic energy $(E_K)$ and potential energy $(E_p)$ of a satellite with its distance $(r)$ from the centre of earth is

Question

cdquestions Admin · Accepted Answer

$E_{T}=-\frac{GM\,m}{2r};$ Thus $E_{T}$ increases with increase in $r$ $E_{k}=\frac{GM\,m}{2r}$ ; Thus $E_{k}$ decreases with increase in $r$ $E_{p}=\frac{-GM \,m}{r}$ ; Thus $E_{p}$ increases with increase in $r$
