Exp. (a)
From conservation of energy,
Total energy at the planet
= Total energy at altitude

- \frac{GM m}{R} + (K E)_{s u r f a ce} = - \frac{GM m}{3 R} + \frac{1}{2} m v_{A}^{2} \dots (i)

In the orbital of planet, the necessary centripetal force is obtained by gravitational force.

∴ \frac{m v _{A}^{2}}{R + 2 R} = \frac{GM m}{( R + 2 R ) ^{2}}

\Rightarrow \frac{v _{A}}{2} = \frac{GM}{3 R}

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

(KE)_{s u r f a ce} = \frac{5}{6} \frac{GMm}{R}
