The space shuttle typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. The shuttle can travel in a circular orbit, at constant speed, without any need for the rocket engine to be on, if it travels at just the right speed (a) Given that the value of g is 8.50 m/s2 at an altitude of 500 km, determine the value of the shuttle's...

The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 640 km above the Earth. Part A How fast must the shuttle be moving (relative to Earth) when the release occurs? v = m/s
(13% ) Problem 5: A 4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 170 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit of 390 km to link up with the space station at that altitude a How much work, in joules, do the spaceship's engines have to perform to move to the higher orbit? Ignore any change of mass due to fuel consumption. Grade Summary 0%
An 825 kg space vehicle is circling Earth in a circular orbit with a radius of 10,300 km. Its orbit is to be changed to a larger circle with a radius of 17,400 km. Howmuch energy is required to accomplish this?
A 475 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction? ____ J
A spacecraft with mass 1500 kg is in a circular orbit at an altitude 200 km above the surface of Earth. A) Use the Law of Universal Gravitation and Newton's 2nd law for circular motion to derive and find the speed of the spacecraft in this orbit. B) How much mechanical energy does the spacecraft have in this orbit? C) How much work must the spacecraft engines perform to get it into the above circular orbit from the surface of...
A 507 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 754 km above a planet’s surface. This planet is similar to our Earth. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually is brought to the Earth’s surface, and it hits the Earth with a speed of 3 km/s. The radius of the planet is 7 × 106 m and its mass is 8 × 1024 kg. The gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2. How much...
