A satellite of mass m is just placed over the surface of earth. In this position mechanical energy of satellite is E1. Now it starts orbiting round the earth in a circular path at height h= radius of earth. In this position, kinetic energy, potential energy and total mechanical energy of satellite are K2, U2 and E2 respectively. Then
