Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits at 6000 km above the surface of Mars, closer than any other moon in the solar system, once every 7.66 hours. (Radius of Mars = 3389 km). You want to put an artificial satellite (the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in this case) into a circular orbit at a height of 300 km above the surface of Mars. This process, called orbital insertion, requires the orbiter to speed up or slow down to...

A satellite orbits the Earth uniformly in a circular orbit with a velocity of magnitude 4.00 km/s. Use Newton's gravitation force as the force in Newton's Law of Acceleration, using also the centripetal acceleration . Solve for radius r of the satellite's orbit in terms of v . (a) Find then the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the Earth. Earth's mass and radius are 5.9810 kg and 6.3810 km. (b) Find the time it takes the satellite...

Consider a 355kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.07 x 104 km above the Earth’s surface. What is the minimum amount of work the satellite’s thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 104 km above the Earth’s surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are RE = 6.37 x 103 km and ME = 5.97 x 1024 kg respectively. The...
