Introduction
Energy of a Satellite in circular orbit in terms of distance from Earth, r. A satellite in orbit possesses kinetic energy, KE, (by virtue of its speed motion) and gravitational potential energy, PE, (by virtue of its position within the Earth’s gravitational field).
Hence, total energy of a satellite, TE = PE + KE
This is a Lab that allows the exploration of this in a two dimensional space.



Interesting Fact
This app produce real numbers to coincident with the real world data.
