A spacecraft is in circular orbit 200 km above Earth's surface. What minimum velocity kick must...
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...
Earth's orbital velocity is about 29 km/s and that maintains its nearly circular orbit. Suppose we had a spacecraft following Earth in its orbit, and we applied a rocket to speed it to 35 km/s. Assume the thrust is entirely in the plane of the orbit, so the spacecraft stays in the same plane as Earth's orbit. What happens?
A 3000-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit 2420 km above the surface of Mars. How much work must the spacecraft engines perform to move the spacecraft to a circular orbit that is 4030 km above the surface?
A 3330-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit 2770 km above the surface of Mars. How much work must the spacecraft engines perform to move the spacecraft to a circular orbit that is 4960 km above the surf
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...
What is the orbital period for a circular orbit at 2100 km above the Earth's surface? You may assume that the mass of the Earth is about 5.97x1024 kg and that the radius of the Earth is about 6371 km. 129 min O 128 min 125 min 138 min 131 min
A 3390-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit 1990 km above the surface of Mars. How much work must the spacecraft engines perform to move the spacecraft to a circular orbit that is 3990 km above the surface? Express your answer to three significant figures. Please find deltaE The answer is not 6.336*10^9, 0.407 *10^10 , 7.05*10^9 , 1.56*10^10 It is something different, all of the above are wrong.
A 270 kg satellite is orbiting on a circular orbit 6180 km above the Earth's surface. Determine the speed of the satellite. (The mass of the Earth is 5.97×1024 kg, and the radius of the Earth is 6370 km.)
An Earth satellite moves in a circular orbit 724 km above Earth's surface with a period of 99.07 min. What are (a) the speed and (b) the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the satellite? 3 sig figs please
A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 4600 km above the surface of a nonrotating asteroid with an orbital speed of 11.8 km/s. The minimum speed needed to escape from the surface of the asteroid is 29.2 km/s. The mass of the asteroid is closest to Question 6 (1 point) A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 4600 km above the surface of a nonrotating asteroid with an orbital speed of 11.8 km/s.
