A geosynchronous satellite is one that stays above the same
point on the equator of the earth. Determine the height above the
Earth's surface such a satellite must orbit and find it's speed.
(Note that the radius in equation is measured from the center of
the earth, not the surface.) You may use the following constants:
The universal gravitational constant G is 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 /
kg2 .
The mass of the earth is 5.98 x...
A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is
3.09×107m directly above the equator. The satellite is located
midway between Quito, Equador, and Belem, Brazil, two cities almost
on the equator that are separated by a distance of 3.48×106m.
Calculate the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of
satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the
earth.
A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is
3.61×107 m directly above the equator. The satellite is located
midway between Quito, Equador, and Belem, Brazil, two cities almost
on the equator that are separated by a distance of 3.87×106 m.
Calculate the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of

An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit d=470.0 km above
the surface of a planet of radius r=3.95×10^3 km. The
period of revolution of the satellite around the planet is T=1.15
hours. What is the average density of the planet?
Which of the following costs is an example of a cost that
remains the same in total as the number of units produced
changes?
Group of answer choices
direct labor
salary of a factory supervisor
units-of-production depreciation on factory equipment

The
largest satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto is Charon which has a
mass of 1.586x 10^22 kg and a 1212 km diameter. Charon is being
visited by the intrepid geologist astronaut, Lil Suzi. Glad that
her long trip from Ceres is over, in celebration she pitched a 3 kg
piece of Charon’s ice horizontally at 22 meters per second over the
edge of serendipity chasma (a canyon) at a location where the
canyon is 1560 meters deep.

A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite orbits
above the equator and has an orbital period of 24 hours so that it
is always above the same point on the spinning earth. Calculate the
altitude of such a satellite.
(b) What is the gravitational field experienced by the
satellite? Give your answer as a percentage in relation to the
gravitational eld at the earth's surface.
Instruction:
First, solve the problem in terms of variables. Then,
calculate the numerical...
A satellite of mass 100 kg is in circular orbit about planet
Uzaz, which has a mass M and radius R, at an altitude (above the
surface) h.
(a) (2 points) Express the linear speed v of
the satellite in terms of the given variables and the universal
gravitational constant.
(b) (3 points) Suppose that if h = 1 × 104 km,
the period of the orbit is T = 11 hours. If Uzaz has a mass of 7.0
