net centripital force = mv2/r (r is radius of orbit)
centripital force is provided by gravitational force so
GMm/r2 = mv2/r
mv2 = GMm/r
mv2/2 = GMm/2r
KE = GMm/2r ................1
potential energy of particle = -GMm/r ............2
total energy = PE + KE = GMm/r - GMm/2r
TE =-GMm/2r
TE < 0
hence proved
