A satellite with kinetic energy E is revolving round the earth in a circular orbit. The minimum additional kinetic energy required for it to eecape into outer space is

a
2E
b
2 E
c
E/2
d
E

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Initial kinetic energy =ESo initial total energy = - EIf additional kinetic energy is K' , total energy will be (- E +K' ). Therefore ( - E + K') =0  ⇒K'=E
