A satellite m = 500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d = 218 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re = 6.38 × 106 m and the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 and the Earth's mass is me = 5.98 × 1024 kg. What is the speed of the satellite in m/s?

A geostationary orbit is one in which a satellite orbits the Earth (in a circular orbit) in the same time as it takes the Earth to make one full rotation with respect to the stars. a) Given the mass of the Earth, calculate the distance of a geostationary satellite from the center of the Earth. b) If you were standing on the equator with the geostationary satellite at your zenith, how long would it take to receive a radio signal?...

The earth has a net negative charge of about -4.3 x 105 C. Since this charge is distributed more or less uniformly over the spherical earth, the force due to this charge is the same as if it were all placed at the Earth's center. A 6.0 kg satellite is orbiting with an orbital radius of 55000 km. If the satellite were also charged, then there would be an electric force in addition to the gravitational force a. What charge...
