A satellite of mass 220 kg is launched from a site on Earth's equator into an orbit at 210 km above the surface of Earth.
(a) Assuming a circular orbit, what is the orbital period of this satellite? _____ s
(b) What is the satellite's speed in its orbit? _____ m/s
(c) What is the minimum energy necessary to place the satellite in orbit, assuming no air friction? _____ J
Homework Answers
Answer #1
The gravitational force provides the centripetal force for the
satellite in the orbit. We use this to find the required period and
the speed as shown below. Use energy conservation principle to find
the energy necessary to place the satellite in orbit

A 400 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 550
km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the
satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits
the ground with a speed of 1.90 km/s. How much energy was
transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?

Part A
Suppose you are at the earth's equator and observe a satellite
passing directly overhead and moving from west to east in the sky.
Exactly 16.0 hours later, you again observe this satellite to be
directly overhead. Assume a circular orbit. How far above the
earth's surface is the satellite's orbit?
h =
