Q
Q: A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth. How does the gravitational potential energy change as it moves to a higher orbit?
Solution:
As the satellite moves to a higher orbit, its gravitational potential energy increases.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a satellite in orbit is affected by Earth's gravity.
Step 2: Recognize that gravitational potential energy depends on the distance from the center of the Earth.
Step 3: Realize that as the satellite moves to a higher orbit, it is moving further away from the Earth.
Step 4: Know that when the distance from the Earth increases, the gravitational potential energy also increases.
Step 5: Conclude that the gravitational potential energy of the satellite increases as it moves to a higher orbit.
