(a) A 374 kg satellite orbits the Earth at a height of 3197 km
above the Earth's surface. Assume the Earth has a mass of 5.98 x
1024 kg and a radius of 6,380 km. Find the velocity (in
m/s) of the satellite in its orbit.
(b) Calculate the period of the satellite's orbit when it orbits
the Earth at a height of 3197 km above the Earth's surface. State
your answer in minutes.

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?

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...

A satellite is launched into an orbit at an altitude 200 km
above the surface. Onboard is an exquisitely sensitive atomic clock
that is synchronized with an identical clock on Earth. After
orbiting for one year, the satellite is captured, returned to
Earth, and the clocks compared. What will be the shift in time
between the two clocks?
