A 425 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 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 2.00 km/s. How much energy was transformed to internal energy by means of friction? J

A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth in 24h, so that it appears to be at a fixed position above an observer on Earth. Find its distance from Earth and its velocity by equating the gravitational pull on the satellite to its centrifugal force (GME=4 x1014 m3 /sec2 ). A precise atomic clock is present on that satellite. Use special relativity to estimate the time difference after a year between this clock and a similar one on Earth. Which clock is...
