Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ If $E$ be the total energy of a satellite moving around the earth,then its potential energy will be $\frac{E}{2}$.
Statement $II:$ The kinetic energy of a satellite revolving in an orbit is equal to the half the magnitude of total energy $E$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
