Find the ratio of the potential energy of satellites

Reference no: EM13674517

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to orbit at an altitude of 7520 kilometer. Satellite B is to orbit at an altitude of 15100 kilometer. The radius of Earth RE is 6370 kilometer.

(a) Find the ratio of the potential energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit?

(b) Find the ratio of the kinetic energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit?

(d) By how much?
