For communications purposes, satellites are typically placed in a circular geosynchronous orbit. If the orbit is in the equatorial plane of the Earth, it is called geostationary. A satellite’s orbital speed in a geostationary orbit is set to match the angular velocity Ωe of the rotating Earth (with mass M), so that as seen from the Earth the satellite is stationary above a fixed point on the Equator. For a satellite of mass m in a geostationary circular orbit then...
Let M be a surface and 11 a plane that intersects M in a curve γ. Show that y is a geodesic if II is a plane of symmetry of M, i.e., the two sides are mirror images.

What does the geodesic effect amount to for the axis of the Earth in its orbit round the Sun? Take Mo = 2 x 1030 kg,r = 1.5 x 1011cm, (G = 6.67 x 10-11 N mềkg-1, and c-3 x 108m s-1)
4. Consider a planet in orbit about a star of mass M. Let the x-y plane correspond to the plane of the orbit, with the star at the origin. In the limit in which the stellar mass greatly exceeds the planetary mass, the planet's radial equation of motion is GM h2 p2 + 73 where h = rė is the planet's constant angular momentum per unit mass, and G is the universal gravitational constant. Here, x = r cos @...

Show that the proper time for a photon to complete one revolution at r = 3m, as measured by an observer stationed at r = 3m, is 6m/c. What orbital period does a very distant observer assign to the photon?
5. A satellite is placed in a circular orbit to observe the surface of the Earth from an altitude of 300 km. The equatorial radius of Earth is 5800 km. If the speed of the satellite is 3500 m/s, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the satellite? 100+100 S5300 0000000000
A comet is going in a parabolic orbit lying in the plane of the Earth's orbit. Regarding the Earth's orbit as a circle with radius a, show that the points where the comet intersects the earth's orbit are given by cos θ =-1 + 2p/a where p is the perihelion distance of the comet defined at θ=0 2.
