Given the perihelion distance, p , and aphelion distance, q , for an elliptical orbit, show that the velocity at perihelion, vp , is given by vp=2GMSun(q+p)qp . (Hint: Use conservation of angular momentum to relate vp and vq , and then substitute into the conservation fo energy equation.)
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?
A satellite describes an elliptic orbit about a planet of mass m . Denoting by r0 and r1 , respectively, the minimum and maximum values of the distance r from the satellite to the center of the planet, derive the relationwhere h is the angular momentum per unit mass of the satellite.
Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 300 km above the earth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4500 km above the earth's surface. What is the period of the spacecraft's orbit? Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft's speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft's rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee?
What is the magnitude of angular momentum of JUST the partical circled to the system's mass center?
A 1500-kg satellite orbits a planet in a circular orbit of radius 6.2 × 106 m from the center of the planet. What is the angular momentum, in kg m2/s, of the satellite, with respect from an axis from the center of the planet, if it completes one orbit every 1.5 × 104 s?
A satellite is in an elliptical orbit, with a perigee of 2.0 earth radii and an apogee of 6.6 earth radii. If its velocity is 2.10 km/s at apogee, what is its velocity at perigee? Provide your answer in km/s. Hint: Make use of the conservation of angular momentum. A. 6.2 km/s B. 6.9 km/s C. 8.0 km/s D. 8.8 km/s
The perihelion of the comet LINEAR–Skiff is 2.12 AU and the aphelion is 6.11 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 25 km/s, what is the speed (in km/s) at aphelion (1 AU = 1.496 ✕ 1011 m)? (Hint: You may use either conservation of energy or angular momentum, but the latter is much easier.)_________ km/s
What are (a) the speed and (b) the period of a 220 kg satellite in an approximately circular orbit 640 km above the surface of Earth? Suppose the satellite loses mechanical energy at the average rate of 1.4 * 105 J per orbital revolution. Adopting the reasonable approximation that the satellite’s orbit becomes a “circle of slowly diminishing radius,” determine the satellite’s (c) altitude, (d) speed, and (e) period at the end of its 1500th revolution. (f ) What is the magnitude of the average retarding force on the satellite? Is angular momentum around Earth’s center conserved for (g) the satellite and (h) the satellite–Earth system (assuming that system is isolated)?
I don't understand why B would be the correct answer? Shouldn't the potential energy be decreasing as Mars gets farther, since the gravitational force decreases? And why is angular momentum the same?
Consider an asteroid with a radius of 18 km and a mass of 3.6×1015 kg .Assume the asteroid is roughly spherical. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the asteroid? Suppose the asteroid spins about an axis through its center, like the Earth, with a rotational period T.What is the smallest value Tcan have before loose rocks on the asteroid's equator begin to fly off the surface?
