An artificial satellite of mass $m$ revolves around the earth at a height $h$ with a speed $v$. How much power (energy per second) will it require to keep itself moving with constant speed in the orbit of radius $r$?

  • A
    $\frac{m v^3}{r}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$
  • C
    $\frac{6 m M_e}{\left(R_e+h\right)}$
  • D
    $0$
