U =(-GMm/r), K = (GMm/2r) and E = (-GMm/2r) For a satellite U, K and E vary with r and also U and E remain negative whereas K remains always positive.

Q. The correct graph representing the variation of total energy $(E_{t})$ , kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ and potential energy $(U)$ of a satellite with its distance from the centre of earth is

$U = \frac{- GM m}{r}, K = \frac{GM m}{2 r}$ and $E = \frac{- GM m}{2 r}$

For a satellite $U, K$ and $E$ vary with $r$ and also $U$ and $E$ remain negative whereas $K$ remains always positive.

Q. The correct graph representing the variation of total energy (Et​), kinetic energy (Ek​) and potential energy (U) of a satellite with its distance from the centre of earth is

U=r−GMm​,K=2rGMm​ and E=2r−GMm​ For a satellite U,K and E vary with r and also U and E remain negative whereas K remains always positive.
