A satellite falling to the earth has kentic energy of 182.2 billon Joules and a potential energy of 1.6 billion JoulesWhat is its mechanical energy?
it doesnt make it
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
What is an energy form based on position above or below another point?
The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.
The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?
The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)
At what height from the surface of the earth the total energy of the satellite is equal to its potential energy at a height of 2R from the surface of earth?
This question cannot be answered because:the total energy of the satellite includes its kinetic energy and that depends on its orbital speed. This is not specified;it is not clear what you mean by "potational": is it a typo for rotational or potential?what is R? The radius of the earth or the height of the satellite or some other measure?
Why a satellite is to be transferred to an orbit of larger radius energy is to be supplied to the satellite?
Object further away from gravitation center has higher potential energy. Therefore work(energy expense) must be done to put it there.
Does an object with high gravitational potential energy always have a low kinetic energy?
No. For example, a satellite in orbit has a lot of both.

Where does a satellite in elliptical motion have the most kinetic energy?
At apapsis - when it is closest to the planet. In that case, it is moving fastest. Note that at apapsis, its potential energy will be lowest, since it is closer to the planet, while its kinetic energy will be highest. The sum of potential + kinetic energy doesn't change during the orbit.
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
What are the potential problems with satellite television?
Some of the potential problems with satellite television is the high cost and too many channels.
