When the space shuttle coasts in a circular orbit at constant
speed about Earth, is it accelerating? If so, in what
direction? If not, why not?

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
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...
2. Support the space shuttle is in orbit about the earth at 400 km above its surface. Determine the orbital speed and the orbital period of the space shuttle. 3.calculate the minimum velocity (escape speed) a spacecraft must have to escape the gravitational force of the planet earth. Mearth=5.972 x 10^24kg 4. Calculate the schwarzschild radius of a black hole with the mass of the sun.Mearth=5.972 x 10^24kg
A satellite moves at constant speed in a circular orbit about the center of earth and near the surface of the earth. If its acceleration is 9.80 m/s^2, fins (a) its speed, and (b) the time for one complete revolution.
Problem 3) The space shuttle is in a circular orbit of 180 km altitude and inclination 30o. What is the change in east longitude (AX) of the ascending node after 1 orbit of the satellite? (answer in radians) Hint: ёл-(w Earth-A)nT for n orbits

The International Space Station typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. Assume that the space station travels in a circular orbit at constant speed (this is a perfectly reasonable assumption). A. Given that the value of g is 8.68m/s28.68m/s2at an altitude of 400 km, determine the value of the space station's speed in its circular orbit. _______ m/s B. At this...
A satellite travels around the Earth at constant speed in a uniform circular orbit that passes directly above Norman. At the moment the satellite is directly above Norman. What is the direction of the net force on the satellite
A satellite travels around the Earth at constant speed in a uniform circular orbit that passes directly above Norman. At the moment the satellite is directly above Norman. What is the direction of the net force on the satellite ? A Tangential to the orbit in the direction of motion. B Tangential to the orbit opposite the direction of motion. C Radially downward, towards Norman. D Radially upward, away from Norman. E Several of the above are possible.
The space shuttle is in a 100km -high circular orbit. It needs to reach a 550km -high circular orbit to catch the Hubble Space Telescope for repairs. The shuttle's mass is 8.00
A space station is orbiting the Earth. It moves in a circular orbit with a radius equal to three times the Earth's radius. A supply satellite is designed to travel to the station and dock smoothly when it arrives. If the supply satellite is fired as a simple projectile from the Earth's surface, what is the minimum intial speed required for it to reach the space station and have a speed equal to the station's speed when it arrives? Ignore...
