(a) Show that the total mechanical energy of a satellite(mass m) orbiting at a distance r from the center of theEarth (mass ME) is1 GmMEE = ~ 2 ~r 'if U = 0 at r = oo. (b) Show that although friction causesthe value of E to decrease slowly, kinetic energy must actuallyincrease if the orbit remains a circle.
