What is the escape speed of a satellite located at the Moon’s orbit about Earth? Assume the Moon is not nearby.
A Molniya orbit is a highly eccentric orbit of a communication satellite so as to provide continuous communications coverage for Scandinavian countries and adjacent Russia. The orbit is positioned so that these countries have the satellite in view for extended periods in time (see below). If a satellite in such an orbit has an apogee at 40,000.0 km as measured from the center of Earth and a velocity of 3.0 km/s, what would be its velocity at perigee measured at 200.0 km altitude?
Using the technique shown in Satellite Orbits and Energy, show that two masses m1 and m2 in circular orbits about their common center of mass, will have total energy E=K+E=K1+K2Gm1m2r=Gm1m22r . We have shown the kinetic energy of both masses explicitly. (Hint: The masses orbit at radii r1 and r2 , respectively, where r=r1+r2 . Be sure not to confuse the radius needed for centripetal acceleration with that for the gravitational force.)
FIGURE 8.38 Comparison of a circular and an elliptical orbit. The semimajor axis of the ellipse is the radius of the circular orbit. At points I and J on the ellipse, the particles speed is the same as it would be on the circle. At perihelion P, the particles speed is too high to maintain a circular orbit, and at aphelion A, it is too low. G Case Study Comet Hale-Bopps elliptical orbit is described in Problem 63. Draw an energy graph for the Suncomet system. For points A, P, I, and J (Fig. 8.38, page 236), superimpose a bar chart on the energy graph.
A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are sueful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth’s rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for Earth in Appendis D.
Construct Your Own Problem On February 14, 2000, the NEAR spacecraft was successfully inserted into orbit around Eros, becoming the first artificial satellite of an asteroid. Construct a problem in which you determine the orbital speed for a satellite near Eros. You will need to find the mass of the asteroid and consider such things as a safe distance for the orbit. Although Eros is not spherical, calculate the acceleration due to gravity on its surface at a point an average distance from its center of mass. Your instructor may also wish to have you calculate the escape velocity from this point on Eros.
Check Your Understanding There is another consideration to this last calculation of ME. We derived Equation 13.8 assuming that the satellite orbits around the center of the astronomical body at the same radius used in the expression for the gravitational force between them. What assumption is made to justify this? Earth is about 81 times more massive than the Moon. Does the Moon orbit about the exact center of Earth? Which is about 17,000 mph. Using Equation 13.8, the period is T=2r3GME=2( 6.37 10 6+4.00 10 5m)3(6.67 10 11N m 2 /kg 2)(5.96 10 24kg)=5.55103s
Additional Problems A synchronous satellite. which always remains above the same point on a planet's equator, is put in circular orbit around Jupiter to study that planet's famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 7.3 to find the altitude of the satellite.
Check Your Understanding By what factor must the radius change to reduce the orbital velocity of a satellite by one-half? By what factor would this change the period?
