A 400kg satellite in a circular orbit of radius 2 Re about the earth calculate the kinetic energy potential energy and total energy of the satellite? `R_E = 6.4xx10^6m M = 6xx10^(24)kg`
A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth’s gravitational influence? Mass of the satellite = 200 kg; mass of the earth = 6.0×1024 kg; radius of the earth = `6.4 × 10^6` m; G = `6.67 × 10^(–11)` N `m^2`
An artificial satellite moving in a circular orbit around the earth has a total (kinetic + potential) energy `E_0`. Its potential energy and kinetic energy respectively
As you have learnt in the text, a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36,000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth’s gravity at the site of this satellite ? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero). Mass of the earth = `6.0×10^(24)` kg, radius = 6400
Earth’s SatelliteEarth satellites are objects which revolve around the earth. Their motion is very similar to the motion of planets around the Sun. In particular, their orbits around the earth are circular or elliptic. Moon is the only natural satellite of the earth with a near circular orbit with a time period of approximately 27.3 days which is also roughly equal to the rotational period of the moon about its own axis. Also, the speed that a satellite needs to be travelling to break free of a planet or moon’s gravity well and leave it without further propulsion is known
