Satellite Energy & Weightlessness question from JEE Main 2024 (5 Apr, Shift 1)

Q8JEE Main 2024 · 5 APR · SHIFT 1Medium

Satellite Energy & Weightlessness

Match List I with List II:

(Where a=a = radius of planet orbit, r=r = radius of planet, M=M = mass of Sun, m=m = mass of planet)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

LIST ILIST II
A.Kinetic energy of planetI.−- GMm/aGMm/a
B.Gravitation Potential energy of sun-planet systemII.GMm/2aGMm/2a
C.Total mechanical energy of planetIII.Gmr\frac{Gm}{r}  \,
D.Escape energy at the surface of planet for unit mass objectIV.−- GMm/2aGMm/2a
Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. A: kinetic energy =GMm2a= \frac{GMm}{2a} (II).
  2. B: potential energy =−GMma= -\frac{GMm}{a} (I).
  3. C: total energy =−GMm2a= -\frac{GMm}{2a} (IV).
  4. D: escape energy per unit mass at the planet's surface =Gmr= \frac{Gm}{r} (III).
  5. So the answer is (a) A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
