Problem

A satellite is moved outward in two steps: first from a circular orbit of radius 2RE2R_{\text{E}} to 3RE3R_{\text{E}}, and then from 3RE3R_{\text{E}} to 4RE4R_{\text{E}}. If the external work required for the first step is W1W_1 and for the second step is W2W_2, which relation is correct? a) W1=W2W_1 = W_2 b) W1=12W2W_1 = \dfrac{1}{2} W_2 c) W1=2W2W_1 = 2 W_2 d) W1=3W2W_1 = 3 W_2
