A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful 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 the moon in Table 6.2
Unreasonable Results (a) Based on Kepler's laws and information on the orbital characteristics of the Moon, calculate the orbital radius for an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent about the premise of a 1.00 h orbit?
What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 2ME and radius of 2RE where ME, and RE are the mass and radius of Earth, respectively? Answer as a multiple of g, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration near Earths surface. (See Section 7.5.)
Suppose an alien civilization has a space station in circular orbit around its home planet. The stations orbital radius is twice the planets radius, (a) If an alien astronaut has weight w just before launch from the surface, will she be weightless when she reaches the station and floats inside of it? (b) If not, what will be the ratio of her weight in orbit to her weight on the planets surface?
The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P4.19 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earths surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6.400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. Figure P4.19
A satellite in low-Earth orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum. Rather, it moves through very thin air. Does the resulting air friction cause the satellite to slow down?
A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planets equator, is put in orbit around Jupiter to study that planets famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 13.2 to find the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the planet.

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.
Suppose the gravitational acceleration at the surface of a certain moon A of Jupiter is 2 m/s2. Moon B has twice the mass and twice the radius of moon A.

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.
