- Given that a satellite has to be shifted 300km further from Earth than it's original geosynchronous orbit (that has period = 24hrs & radial distance of 42300km from center of the planet).

Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun's mass.arrow_forwardThe motivation for Isaac Newton to discover his laws of motion was to explain the properties of planetary orbits that were observed by Tycho Brahe and analyzed by Johannes Kepler. A good starting point for understanding this (as well as the speed of the space shuttle and the height of geostationary satellites) is the simplest orbit--a circular one. This problem concerns the properties of circular orbits for a satellite orbiting a planet of mass M. For all parts of this problem, where appropriate, use G for the universal gravitational constant. Find L, the magnitude of the angular momentum of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet. Express your answer in terms of m, M, G, and R. The quantities v, K, U, and Lall represent physical quantities characterizing the orbit that depend on radius R. Indicate the exponent (power) of the radial dependence of the absolute value of each. Express your answer as a comma-separated list of exponents corresponding to v, K, U, and L,…arrow_forward
