A satellite of mass $m$ is orbiting the earth (of radius $R$ ) at a height $h$ from its surface. The total energy of the satellite in terms of $g_{0}$ , the value of acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface,

\frac{m g _{0} R ^{2}}{2 ( R + h )}

- \frac{m g _{0} R ^{2}}{2 ( R + h )}

\frac{2 m g _{0} R ^{2}}{R + h}

- \frac{2 m g _{0} R ^{2}}{R + h}
