suppose we launch a satellite in a circular orbit, and want it to revolve around the earth, with an altitutde of 5.5 earth radius (1 earth radius = 6.37 x 10^6 m) above the surface of the earth. how often should this satellite pass overhead? report your answer in days. (neglect the presence of the moon)

You are on an engineering team examining the feasibility of a satellite launching system that uses the electric force instead of rocket fuel. The proposed launching system consists of 4 metal spheres, each one 15 m above the ground, arranged at the corners of a square with sides 5 meters long. The satellite is placed on the ground below the center of the square. To launch the satellite, the four spheres are first each given a charge of +Q/4 and...

Question 10 One way to attack a satellite in Earth orbit is to launch a swarm of pellets in the same orbit as the satellite but in the opposite direction. Suppose a satellite in a circular orbit 670 km above Earth's surface collides with a pellet having mass 3.7 g. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the pellet in the reference frame of the satellite just before the collision? (b) What is the ratio of this kinetic energy to...

Suppose you are at the earth's equator and observe a satellite passing directly overhead and moving from west to east in the sky. Exactly 16.0 hours later, you again observe this satellite to be directly overhead. Assume a circular orbit. How far above the earth's surface is the satellite's orbit? b)You observe another satellite directly overhead and traveling east to west. This satellite is again overhead in 16.0 hours. How far is this satellite's orbit above the surface of the...

NASA has asked your team of rocket scientists about the feasibility of a new satellite launcher that will save rocket fuel. NASA's idea is basically an electric slingshot that consists of 4 electrodes arranged in a horizontal square 5 m on a side. The satellite is placed 15 m directly under the center of the square. A power supply will provide each of the four electrodes with the same charge and the satellite with an opposite charge 4 times larger....

A geosynchronous satellite is placed above the equator and orbiting around the earth to facilitate communication around the world. (You may consider that the mass of the satellite is m, mass of the earth is M(6x1024 kg), center-to-center distance between the satellite and the earth is r, radius of the earth is R(6.4×106 m), and the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67x10-11 N.m2/kg2.) Satellite Earth Applying newton's 2nd law, write an equation describing the circular motion of the satellite. (4...

Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...

Question 3: As an engineering manager, you are in charge of launching a new product. This new product is to be marketed in the global market. Launching a new product for the global market is usually associated with high risks. How would you evaluate the risks associated with such a move? What is the maximum level of risks you would accept?
