Binding energy of a revolving satellite at height $h$ is $3.5 \times 10^{8} \,J$. Its potential energy is

$A$ star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let $r$ be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be $v$,angular velocity $\omega$,kinetic energy $K$,gravitational potential energy $U$,total energy $E$ and angular momentum $l$. As the radius $r$ of the orbit increases,determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.

Match the following columns.
$A$. Potential energy of satellite$I$. Positive
$B$. Total energy of satellite$II$. Negative
$C$. Kinetic energy of satellite$III$. Zero
$D$. Gravitational potential energy of satellite at infinity$IV$. Infinity

Choose the correct alternative:
$(a)$ If the zero of potential energy is at infinity,the total energy of an orbiting satellite is negative of its kinetic/potential energy.
$(b)$ The energy required to launch an orbiting satellite out of Earth's gravitational influence is more/less than the energy required to project a stationary object at the same height (as the satellite) out of Earth's influence.

The additional kinetic energy to be provided to a satellite of mass $m$ revolving around a planet of mass $M$,to transfer it from a circular orbit of radius $R_1$ to another of radius $R_2$ $(R_2 > R_1)$ is:
