A communications satellite is in a circular orbit above the earth such that it always remains directly over a point on the earth’s surface. As a result, the period of the satellite must equal the rotation of the earth,which is approximately 24 hours. Determine the satellite’s altitude h above the earth’s surface and its orbital speed.
A satellite describes an elliptic orbit about a planet of mass M . The minimum and maximum values of the distance r from the satellite to the center of the planet are, respectively, r0 and r1. Use the principles of conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum to derive the relationwhere h is the angular momentum per unit mass of the satellite and G is the constant of gravitation.
A satellite of mass m is put into an elliptical orbit around the earth. At point A, its distance from the earth is h1=500km and it has a velocity V1=30,000km/h. Determine the velocity V2 of the satellite as it reaches point B, a distance h2=1200km from the earth?

- A satellite of mass m is put into an elliptical orbit around the earth. At point A, its distance from the earth is h1 = 500 km and it has a velocity v1 = 30 000 km/h. Determine the velocity v2 of the satellite as it reaches point B, a distance h2 = 1200 km from the earth.arrow_forwardA space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of 5600-mi radius about the planet Venus in a specified plane. As the probe reaches A, the point of its original trajectory closest to Venus, it is inserted in a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvA. This orbit brings it to point B with a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted in a second transfer orbit located in the specified plane by changing the direction of its velocity and further reducing its speed by ΔvB. Finally, as the probe reaches point C, it is inserted in the desired circular orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvC. Knowing that the mass of Venus is 0.82 times the mass of the earth, that rA = 9.3 × 103 mi and rB = 190 × 103 mi, and that the probe approaches A on a parabolic trajectory, determine by how much the velocity of the probe should be reduced (a) at A, (b) at B, (c) at C.arrow_forwardThe Clementine spacecraft described an elliptic orbit of minimum altitude hA = 400 km and maximum altitude hB = 2940 km above the surface of the moon.
