Question

An artificial satellite in the presence of frictional forces will move into an orbit closer to the earth and may have increased kinetic energy. Explain this.

Open in App

Solution

Artificial satellite due to frictional force will face decreasing speed,centrifugal force will decrease and the satellite will move closes to the earth and hence $P E$ will decrease and $K E$ will increase.
