JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 7th January Morning Slot - No. 1)

A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed u from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass $${m \over {10}}$$ so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is (G is the gravitational constant; M is the mass of the earth) :
$${{3m} \over 8}{\left( {u + \sqrt {{{5GM} \over {6R}}} } \right)^2}$$
$${m \over {20}}\left( {{u^2} + {{113} \over {100}}{{GM} \over R}} \right)$$
$$5m\left( {{u^2} - {{119} \over {100}}{{GM} \over R}} \right)$$
$${m \over {20}}{\left( {u - \sqrt {{{2GM} \over {3R}}} } \right)^2}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Morning Slot Physics - Gravitation Question 147 English Explanation 1
Using energy conservation

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 2}m{u^2} - {{GmM} \over R}$$ = $${1 \over 2}m{v^2} - {{GmM} \over {2R}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ v = $$\sqrt {{u^2} - {{GM} \over R}} $$ JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Morning Slot Physics - Gravitation Question 147 English Explanation 2

After ejecting a rocket of mass $${m \over {10}}$$ the remaining part of mass $${{9m} \over {10}}$$ will rotate the earth with orbital velocity v0.

$$ \therefore $$ v0 = $$\sqrt {{{GM} \over {2R}}} $$

Applying momentum conservation along radial direction,

Before firing rocket momentum of satelite in radial direction = mv

And after firing rocket momentum of satelite in radial direction = 0 and momentum of rocket in radial direction = $${m \over {10}}{v_2}$$

$$ \therefore $$ mv = $${m \over {10}}{v_2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ v2 = 10v

Now applying momentum conservation along tangential direction we get,

0 = $${m \over {10}}{v_1}$$ - $${{9m} \over {10}}{v_0}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$${{9m} \over {10}}{v_0}$$ = $${m \over {10}}{v_1}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ v1 = 9v0

$$ \therefore $$Total Kinetic Energy of rocket

= $${1 \over 2}{m \over {10}}\left( {v_1^2 + v_2^2} \right)$$

= $${1 \over 2}{m \over {10}}\left( {81v_0^2 + 100{v^2}} \right)$$

= $${m \over {20}}\left( {81\left( {{{GM} \over {2R}}} \right) + 100\left( {{u^2} - {{GM} \over R}} \right)} \right)$$

= $${m \over {20}}\left( {100{u^2} + {{81GM} \over {2R}} - {{100GM} \over R}} \right)$$

= $${m \over {20}}\left( {100{u^2} - {{119GM} \over {2R}}} \right)$$

= $$5m\left( {{u^2} - {{119GM} \over {200R}}} \right)$$
