A satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular)
orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbit where it is
closest to the Earth, it is a distance of 1.00 × 10^6
m from the surface (not the center) of the Earth,
and is moving at a velocity of 5.14 km/s. At the
point in its orbit when it is furthest from the Earth it is a
distance of 2.00×10^6 m from the surface of the
Earth....

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The
orbit for satellite A is at a height of 555 km above the earth’s
surface, while that for satellite B is at a height of 778 km. Find
the orbital speed for (a) satellite A and (b) satellite B.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The
orbit for satellite A is at a height of 458 km above the earth’s
surface, while that for satellite B is at a height of 732 km. Find
the orbital speed for (a) satellite A and
(b) satellite B.

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 satellite in a circular orbit around the earth with a radius
1.011 times the mean radius of the earth is hit by an incoming
meteorite. A large fragment (m = 81.0 kg) is ejected in the
backwards direction so that it is stationary with respect to the
earth and falls directly to the ground. Its speed just before it
hits the ground is 361.0 m/s. Find the total work done by gravity
on the satellite fragment. RE 6.37·103 km;...

of an incline plane that has friction. Which will reach the bottom
of the hill first and why?
What is impulse and how does it relate to the average force
applied to an object during a collision? Include one physical
example in your explanation.
