Multiple Choice
An artificial Earth satellite is moved from a circular orbit with radius R to a circular orbit with radius 2R.During this move:
A) the gravitational force does positive work, the kinetic energy of the satellite increases, and the potential energy of the Earth-satellite system increases
B) the gravitational force does positive work, the kinetic energy of the satellite increases, and the potential energy of the Earth-satellite system decreases
C) the gravitational force does positive work, the kinetic energy of the satellite decreases, and the potential energy of the Earth-satellite system increases
D) the gravitational force does negative work, the kinetic energy of the satellite system increases, and the potential energy of the Earth-satellite system decreases
E) the gravitational force does negative work, the kinetic energy of the satellite decreases, and the potential energy of the Earth-satellite system increases
