Concept explainers
Whether the scientists able to calculate the mass of first satellite launched into orbit by the former Soviet union in 1957, U. S. president.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The time require for satellite to complete one rotation known as period of revolution of a satellite.Satellites period of revolution depends on acceleration of a satellite.
No Scientists were not able to calculate the mass. Since the satellite was launched in the orbit and in orbit satellite speed and period of revolution is independent of mass.
Conclusion:
Scientists not able to calculate the mass.
