A satellite of mass m= 100kg is orbiting the Earth in a Low Earth Orbit at a velocity of v= 12,000m/s. It is simultaneously hit by two oncoming meteors. The first meteor of mass m1 = 10kg impacts at an angle of θ1 = 30° at a speed of v1 = 1000m/s. The second meteor of mass m2 = 8kg impacts at an angle of θ2 = 10° at a speed of v2 = 1500m/s. If both meteors become embedded in the satellite, what is the new y-component of the satellite’s speed?

    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...
