Find the energy necessary to put 4 kg , initially at rest on Earth's surface, into geosynchronous orbit.
In a geosynchronous orbit the distance from the center of earth
is r = 42241.1 km and the velocity is 3.1 km/s
IF R is the radius of earth , the altitude h of the satellite from
the earth’s surface is
h = 42241.1- 6371 = 35870.1 km
The potential energy of the satellite of mass 4kg is is
4*v^2h/r
The kinetic energy of the satellite of mass 4 kg is 4*v^2/2.
Total energy is 4*(v^2/2 + v^2h/r)
4*((3.1e3)^2/2 + (3.1e3)^2*35870.1e3/42241.1e3)= 5.188 e+7 J.
This much energy is needed for a satellite which is initially at
rest on Earth's surface, into geosynchronous orbit.

Find the energy needed to place a 1.6 kg satellite, initially at rest on Earth's surface, into geosynchronous orbit
Many satellites orbit Earth at maximum altitudes above Earth's surface of 1000 km or less. Geosynchronous satellites, however, orbit at an altitude of 35790 km above Earth's surface. How much more energy is required to launch a 415 kg satellite into a geosynchronous orbit than into an orbit 1000 km above the surface of Earth?

What is the height H above the earth's surface at which all geosynchronous satellites (regardless of mass) must be placed in orbit? Note: A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours is called a geosynchronous satellite. Mass of Earth: 6*1024 kg, radius of Earth = 6400 km. Note that the distance of the satellite from the Earth (r) in the formula is the distance from the center of the Earth. When you find the total distance r,...
A geosynchronous orbit is a high-Earth orbit that allows satellites to match Earth's rotation. There is a 500-kg satellite working on the geosynchronous orbit. If this satellite transfers to a new orbit with half the height of the geosynchronous orbit, find (a) the height of the new orbit, (b) percentage change of the radius of the satellite orbit.
Calculate the velocity needed for an object starting at the Earth's surface to just barely reach a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit. Ignore air drag and assume the object has a speed of zero when it reaches the satellite. radius of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit is 4.2 x 107 m.) 2.9e4 x m/s

Question 1 of 10 > Attempt 4 Consider a 495 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.07 x 10 km above the Earth's surface. What is the minimum amount of work W the satellite's thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 10 km above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are Re = 6,37 x 10 km...

A 600 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 475 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 2.50 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction? 1.88e10
