An artificial satellite of mass m is moving in a circular orbit at a height equal to the radius R of the earth Suddenly due to internal explosion the satellite breaks into two parts of equal masses One part of the satellite stops just after the explosion and then falls to the surface of the earth Given acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is g D R A The increase in the mechanical energy of the system satellite earth due to explosion will be mgR 4 B Increase in the mechanical energy of the system satellite earth due to explosion will be 3mgR 4 C One part of the satellite which was moving after explosion is going to escape the gravitation field of earth D One part of the satellite which was stationary after explosion is going to collide on earth surface with a velocity which is double of its orbital velocity in original circular orbital
