Answer:
Explanation:
Orbital radius of satellite A , Ra = 6370 + 6370 = 12740 km
Orbital radius of satellite B , Rb = 6370 + 19110 = 25480 km
Orbital potential energy of a satellite = - GMm / r where G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and m is mass of the satellite
Orbital potential energy of a satellite A = - GMm / Ra
Orbital potential energy of a satellite B = - GMm / Rb
PE of satellite B /PE of satellite A
= Ra / Rb
= 12740 / 25480
= 1 / 2
b ) Kinetic energy of a satellite is half the potential energy with positive value , so ratio of their kinetic energy will also be same
KE of satellite B /KE of satellite A
= 1 / 2
c ) Total energy will be as follows
Total energy = - PE + KE
- P E + PE/2
= - PE /2
Total energy of satellite B / Total energy of A
= 1 / 2
Satellite B will have greater total energy because its negative value is less.
So you subtract the numbers that are on the same axis. So if your gravitational force is 10 and your normal force is 5 you do 5-10 to get -5 since gravity acts downward
