A
Positive
सकारात्मक
B
Negative
नकारात्मक
C
Zero
शून्य
D
Infinite
अनंत

Explanation

The total mechanical energy EE of a satellite is the sum of its kinetic energy (positive) and gravitational potential energy (negative). For a bound satellite, EE is negative because the magnitude of potential energy is greater than kinetic energy:

E=K+U<0E = K + U < 0

This negative energy indicates the satellite is gravitationally bound to Earth.
