Initially a satellite of 100 kg is in a circular orbit of radius $1.5 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$. This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius $3 R_E$ by supplying $\alpha \times 10^6 \mathrm{~J}$ of energy The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
(Take Radius of Earth $R_E=6 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The radius vector from the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time and thus areal velocity of planet is constant.
Reason (R): For a central force field the angular momentum is a constant.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
An object is kept at rest at a distance of $3 R$ above the earth's surface where $R$ is earth's radius. The minimum speed with which it must be projected so that it does not return to earth is : (Assume $\mathrm{M}=$ mass of earth, $\mathrm{G}=$ Universal gravitational constant)
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$
Assertion A : The kinetic energy needed to project a body of mass $m$ from earth surface to infinity is $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mgR}$, where R is the radius of earth.
Reason R : The maximum potential energy of a body is zero when it is projected to infinity from earth surface.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
