Different energies of a Satellite




A satellite can obtain two types of energies:

  • Potential energy / Gravitational Potential Energy (G.P.E)
  • Kinetic Energy

G.P.E:

It is the amount of work done in bringing a body of mass 'm' to a given point from infinity.

Kinetic Energy and its relation with G.P.E


T.E and P.E are -ve and are thus below the positive axis
