5. A ball of mass 2 kg is launched into a circular orbit close to the Earth's surface. Given the mass of Earth is M-5.98 x 1024 kg and its radius is 6.37 x 10 m. Ignoring air resistance, what is the energy required to launch the ball from rest into the orbit?
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...
What is the orbital speed of a satelite in a circular orbit at 8, 129 kilometers above the Earth surface? Express your answer in km/s and round it to two decimals. Earth's mean radius is RE = 6.37 x100 m; Earth's mass is ME = 5.97x104kg. A What is the orbital period of a satelite in a circular orbit at 5,384 kilometers above the Earth surface? Express your answer in minutes (enter "min" for minutes) and round it to the...

A 500 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 550 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 1.70 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?
