A satellite of mass m circles a planet of mass M and radius R in an orbit at a height 2R above the surface of the planet. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to one for which the height of the satellite is 3R above the surface of the planet

ΔE = GMm/24R

Explanation:

centripetal acceleration a = V^2 / R = 2T/mr

T= kinetic energy

m= mass of satellite, r= radius of earth

= gravitational acceleration = GM / r^2

Now, solving for the kinetic energy:

T = GMm / 2r = -1/2 U,

where U is the potential energy

So the total energy is:

E = T+U = -GMm / 2r

Now we want to find the energy difference as r goes from one orbital radius to another:

ΔE = GMm/2 (1/R_1 - 1/R_2)

So in this case, R_1 is 3R (planet's radius + orbital altitude) and R_2 is 4R

ΔE = GMm/2R (1/3 - 1/4)

ΔE = GMm/24R

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
