A satellite of mass \(m\) is orbiting the earth (of radius \(R\)) at a height \(h\) from its surface. What is the total energy of the satellite in terms of \(g_0?\)
(\(g_0\) is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface)
1. | \(\frac{mg_0R^2}{2(R+h)}\) | 2. | \(-\frac{mg_0R^2}{2(R+h)}\) |
3. | \(\frac{2mg_0R^2}{(R+h)}\) | 4. | \(-\frac{2mg_0R^2}{(R+h)}\) |
