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)?
A satellite is in a circular low Earth orbit at an altitude of 356 km above the equator's surface. For Earth's radius at the equator, use RE, eq = 6.38 ✕ 106 m.
Assuming only the force of Earth's gravity acts on the satellite, determine the smallest required change in the satellite's speed if it is to escape Earth's gravity and never return.
A mass M is split into two parts, m and M - m, which are then separated by a certain distance. What ratio m/M maximizes the magnitude of the gravitational force between the parts?
