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 earth?

A spy satellite is in circular orbit around Earth. It makes one revolution in 6.02 hours. How high above Earth's surface is the satellite? What is the satellite's acceleration?
2. Consider a system consisting of the Sun, Earth, and a satellite in a circular orbit about the Earth. (a) Plot the gravitational acceleration of the satellite due to Earth's gravity as a function of the altitude of the satellite as measured from the surface of the Earth. Scale your plot so that the altitude goes from 0 km to 104 km. (b) Assume that the satellite instantaneously lies on the line between the Earth and the Sun. Make two...

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...
5. A satellite is traveling at 5.1 km/s in circular orbit around Earth. How far is the satellite above the surface of the Earth? a)2230km b)5460km c)6320km d)7280km e)8930km
Consider a satellite of mass m moving in a circular orbit around the Earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the Earth's surface as illustrated in the figure. (a) Determine the speed of the satellite in terms of G, h, Re (the radius of the Earth), and Me (the mass of the Earth). (b) If the satellite is to be geosynchronous (that is, appearing to remain over a fixed position on the Earth), how fast...
