What is the minimum orbital period of motion of a silicate rock withA=0.4 around the sun?
In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, the parameter “delta v”, could I use “delta v”as “v” in the equation v=sqrt(GM/r) or are they different. For example if a satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit with a “delta v” of 2km/s, could I use the 2km/s to calculate the radius of orbit? Thanks

A satellite placed in a circular orbit at a radius of 1.5 earth radii (z ~ 3,185 km) has an orbital period of 155 minutes. What is the maximum interval the satellite could maintain a communication link with a ground station? Assume the satellite passes directly overhead the station, but must be at least 15° above the horizon to establish and maintain the communication link. Report your answer in minutes using three significant digits (e.g. 123). What is the maximum communication interval in minutes?

On February 20, 1962, John Glenn made the first U.S.-manned flight around the Earth for three orbits on Friendship 7. With Earth at one focus, the orbit of Friendship 7 is given approximately by r = 4090.76/(1 - 0.0076 cos θ), where r is measured in miles from Earth’s center. Use the formula and the figure shown to solve, How far from Earth’s center was John Glenn at his greatestdistance from the planet? Round to the nearest mile. If the radius of Earth is 3960 miles, how far was he from Earth’s surface at this point on the flight?

Do 2 consecutive orbits overlap at the equator? Explain your answer. (Hint: Assume Earth’s circumference at the equator = 40000 km)

Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m. Set up the equations of motion for equilibrium, setting one coordinate in the direction of the centripetal accleration (toward P in the diagram), the other perpendicular to that. Show that the deflection angle , defined as the angle between the pendulum string and the radial direction toward the center of Earth, is given by the expression below. What is the deflection angle at latitude 45 degrees? Assume that Earth is a perfect sphere. tan(+)=gg2REtan , where is the angular velocity of Earth.
