- As friction with our atmosphere causes a satellite to spiral inward, closer to Earth, its orbital speed increases. Why?arrow_forwardTwo stars of masses M and m, separated by a distance d, revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass (Fig. P11.50). Show that each star has a period given by T2=42d3G(M+m) Proceed as follows: Apply Newtons second law to each star. Note that the center-of-mass condition requires that Mr2 = mr1, where r1 + r2 = d.arrow_forwardCircular orbits in Equation 13.10 for conic sections must have eccentricity zero. From this, and using Newton’s second law applied to centripeta acceleration, show that the value of in Equation 13.10 is given by Where is the angular momentum of the orbiting body. The value of is constant and given by this expression regardless of the type of orbit.arrow_forward
