A satellite of mass \(m\) is orbiting the earth (of radius \(R\)) at a height \(h\) from its surface. What is the total energy of the satellite in terms of \(g_0?\)
(\(g_0\) is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface)
1. \(\frac{mg_0R^2}{2(R+h)}\)
2. \(-\frac{mg_0R^2}{2(R+h)}\)
3. \(\frac{2mg_0R^2}{(R+h)}\)
4. \(-\frac{2mg_0R^2}{(R+h)}\)
