  1. A satellite which has a weight of 35000 N on the surface of the earth is moving in a circular orbit around the earth. The radius of the orbit is 2R where R approx  6,400 km is the radius of the earth.

    1. Derive and find the period of the satellite from Newton’s second law.

    2. What is the angular momentum of the satellite as it orbits the earth?

    3. If we now desire to push the satellite into a higher orbit with a period of one day, what should the new orbital radius be?

    4. What is the minimum amount of work Wmin that must be done against gravity to achieve the task in part c?

    5. Note \ 1-4= A-D please explain the physics on each parts so I can understand what is going on hw, thank you.
