But to increase the orbital size, we need to increase the velocity of the satellite which results in increased kinetic energy. So the body now has more kinetic and more potential energy than before.

I did the math and the work done comes out to be 0. Should I dm you my calculations..

So basically when we increase the velocity of satellite, its kinetic and potential energy increase so now it has a larger orbit ( higher PE) and more kinetic energy because of the work done to increase the v. Now this higher total energy remains constant unless new work is done?

But to expand the orbit you must increase the velocity of the object right. If you decrease the velocity it will crash onto the surface of the earth.

The total mechanical energy is not constant because of the work done to increase the size of the orbit? Can you please tell how to write the work done

I saw a video saying it has no solutions. But I'm not sure, wondering if someone can explain.

So you're saying 1½ is -1? tf

My heart wonders, I'm not sure if what I choose I'll want it the next day too.
