10-3. A 639-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 1.16 x 10^7 m above the Earth’s surface. Find (a) the gravitational force (N) acting on the satellite, (b) the satellite’s speed (m/s) (magnitude of its velocity, not its angular velocity), and (c) the period (h) of its revolution. Caution: The radius of the satellite’s orbit is not just its height above the Earth’s surface. It also includes the radius of the Earth. The...

A 507 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 754 km above a planet’s surface. This planet is similar to our Earth. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually is brought to the Earth’s surface, and it hits the Earth with a speed of 3 km/s. The radius of the planet is 7 × 106 m and its mass is 8 × 1024 kg. The gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2. How much...
