Gravitation question

2020 · 3 Sep · Shift 1 · Q57

JEE MainPhysicsGravitationMCQ+4 / −1
A satellite is moving in a low nearly circular orbit around the earth. Its radius is roughly equal to that of the earth’s radius Re . By firing rockets attached to it, its speed is instantaneously increased in the direction of its motion so that it become 32\sqrt {{3 \over 2}}23​​ times larger. Due to this the farthest distance from the centre of the earth that the satellite reaches is R. Value of R is :
  1. A
    2Re
  2. B
    3Re
  3. C
    4Re
  4. D
    2.5Re
