A satellite in a circular orbit around the earth with a radius
1.015 times the mean radius of the earth is hit by an incoming
meteorite. A large fragment (m = 89.0 kg) is ejected in the
backwards direction so that it is stationary with respect to the
earth and falls directly to the ground. Its speed just before it
hits the ground is 359.0 m/s. Find the total work done by gravity
on the satellite fragment. RE 6.37·103 km;
Mass of the earth= ME 5.98·1024 kg.
Calculate the amount of that work converted to heat.
A)
total work done by gravity is U1-U2
U1 is the potential energy of the system when the fragment is at 1.015*Re
U2 is the PE of the system when the fragment is at Re
then U1 = -G*m*M/(1.015*RE) =
-(6.67*10^-11*89*5.98*10^24)/(1.015*6.37*10^6) = 549*10^7 J
U2 = -G*m*M/RE = -1.015*549*10^7 = -557.28*10^7 J
W_gravity = (-549+557.28)*10^7 = 8.28*10^7
B) amount of that work converted into heat is (0.5*m*v^2)-
8.28*10^7 J
v be the speed of the fragnment at the surface of the earth
V = sqrt(2*g*h)
h = 1.015*RE - RE = 0.015*RE = 0.015*6.37*10^6 = 9.55*10^4 m
then v= sqrt(2*9.81*9.55*10^4) = 1369.2 m/s
then amount of that work converted into heat is (0.5*m*v^2)- 8.28*10^7 J = 0.5*89*1369.2^2 - 8.28*10^7 = 623749.5 = 6.23*10^5 J

6. [2pt] A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth. The period of the satellite is 20.9 hr. Calculate the radius of the satellite's orbit. Data: My = 5.98 x 10kg, -6.67 x 10 Nm²/kg? Answer: Not yet correct, tries 1/20 S t Al Answers Last Answer: 4.8x10^21 m Hint: Uniform circular motion means that the satellite is accelerated towards the center. The acceleration can be obtained from the law of gravity and the second law combined.
