Question

A 5.00 × 102-kg communications satellite is to be placed into a circular geosynchronous
orbit around Earth. (A geosynchronous satellite remains in the same relative position above
Earth because it has a period of 24.0 h, the same as that of Earth's rotation on its axis.)

(d) How much work must the launch rocket do on the satellite to place it into orbit?
(e) Once in orbit, how much additional energy would the satellite require to escape from
Earth's potential well?

Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.
Suppose a piece of dust has fallen on a CD. If the spin rate of the CD is 500 rpm, and the piece of dust is 4.3 cm from the center, what is the total distance traveled by the dust in 3 minutes? (Ignore accelerations due to getting the CD rotating.)
A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.9 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 6.8 s.
