Match the column $-I$ with column $-II$ for a satellite in circular orbit:
Column $-I$Column $-II$
$(A)$ Kinetic energy$(p)$ $-\frac{GM_Em}{2r}$
$(B)$ Potential energy$(q)$ $\sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{r}}$
$(C)$ Total energy$(r)$ $-\frac{GM_Em}{r}$
$(D)$ Orbital velocity$(s)$ $\frac{GM_Em}{2r}$

(where $M_E$ is the mass of the earth,$m$ is the mass of the satellite,and $r$ is the radius of the orbit)

  • A
    $A-r, B-s, C-q, D-p$
  • B
    $A-q, B-p, C-r, D-s$
