(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 satellite moves in orbit about the Earth at a height of 9500
km above Earth's surface. Find a) the velocity of the satellite; b)
it's period of rotation; c) the magnitude of the Earth's
gravitational force on the satellite if it's mass is 2500 kg; d) if
the satellite's velocity is increased by 20% at what height must it
now orbit the Earth?
Explain D step by step please.

What's ratio of the orbital period for a satellite in
a geosynchronous orbit around the Earth to that of a satellite in
an orbit slightly above the surface of the Earth? The Earth has a
radius of 6371km, and a satellite in a circular geosynchronous
orbit has a radius of 42000km from the center of the earth. The
mass of the Earth is 5.792*10^24kg, and Newton's gravitation
constant is G=6.674*10^-11N*m^2/kg^2

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.

Consider a satellite of mass ms in circular orbit around Earth,
a distance h above Earth's surface. Assume the Earth is a sphere
with radius Re and mass Me.
(a) As the satellite travels in circular orbit, will its speed
increase, decrease, or remain constant? Explain.
(b) The only force acting on the satellite is gravity, so the
satellite is in freefall. Why doesn't the satellite get closer to
Earth's surface?
(c) Determine the ratio of the force of gravity...

A geostationary satellite is 42000km above the center of earth.
If the satellite latitude is 50o north with respect to the earth
station and the spherical earth mean radius is 6371 km. Calculate
the satellite elevation angle.

A satellite of mass 220 kg is placed into Earth orbit at a
height of 150 km above the surface.
(a) Assuming a circular orbit, how long does the satellite take
to complete one orbit?
h
(b) What is the satellite's speed?
m/s
(c) Starting from the satellite on the Earth's surface, what is the
minimum energy input necessary to place this satellite in orbit?
Ignore air resistance but include the effect of the planet's daily
rotation.
