    Binding Energy (B.E.) :: 4 MHT-CET - Part I (Std. 12)

    i. The period of a satellite is independent of the mass of the satellite and depends on the height of the satellite. For a satellite revolving close to Earth, the period is directly proportional to the 3/2 power of the radius of its orbit. ii. The binding energy is the minimum energy required to remove a body from a gravitational field to infinity. For a body at rest on Earth's surface, its potential energy is equal to its binding energy. iii. Gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and total energy can be used to calculate the binding energy of an object revolving above Earth's surface.

    ii. As T2 v r3, graph of T2 and r3 is a straight


    line passing through origin. The slope of the b. If h = R, then W = = gmh
    graph, 4SS2/GM, is constant.
    iii. Gravitational potential energy is a scalar
    iii. Period of a satellite is :
    quantity. Its SI unit is joule and its dimensions
    a. Independent of mass of satellite are [M1L2T–2].
    b. Depends on height of satellite
    12. Binding energy (B.E.) :
    c. Directly proportional to i. Minimum energy required to project a body
    d. For a satellite revolving close to earth. from earth’s gravitational field to infinity is
    T = S
    2S called binding energy.
    = 5078 sec a. For body at rest on earth’s surface :
    = 1.41 hr
    If body is at rest on earth’s surface
    = 1 hour 24.6 min.
    iv. The period of revolution of a geostationary P.E. =
    satellite is 24 hours = 86400 s.
    K.E. = 0
    10. Gravitational potential (‘V’) :
    i. Gravitational potential at a point, T.E. =

    Negative sign indicates that body of


    V = mass m is bound by gravitational
    attraction with mass M.
    Therefore binding energy of body which
    = is at rest on earth’s surface is given by

    B.E. =
    = u
    b. For body revolving at height h above
    earth’s surface :
    = If body of mass m is revolving at
    height h above earth’s surface.
    where M is mass of the body due to which
    there is a gravitational field, r is the distance
    P.E. =
    of the point. 

    ii. Its dimensions are [M0L2T–2]. K.E. = mv2c

    11. Gravitational potential energy (P.E.) :


    = m
    i. Gravitational potential energy of a body 
    of mass m placed on the surface of earth of
    radius R, mass M is =
    
    T.E. = P.E + K.E.
    U = 'U =
    
    = +
     

    a. If h < < R, then W =


    T.E. =
    
    = gmh
