Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

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
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.)
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.
Many satellites are placed in geosynchronous orbits. What is special about these orbits? For a global communication netword, how many of these satellites would be needed?
One student argues that a satellite in orbit is in free fall because the satellite keeps falling toward Earth. Another says a satellite in orbit is not in free fall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80m/s2 . With whom do you agree with and why?

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).
