Resistive forces cause the satellite to move into a new orbit of radius $7.30 \times 10^6$ m.

Determine, for the satellite, the change in

1. kinetic energy,

change in kinetic energy = ………………………………………… J [2]

2. gravitational potential energy.

change in potential energy = ………………………………………… J [2]

(iii) Use your answers in (ii) to explain whether the linear speed of the satellite increases, decreases or remains unchanged when the radius of the orbit decreases.
