The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft has a special orbit, located between the Earth and the Sun along the line joining them, and it is always close enough to the Earth to transmit data easily. Both objects exert gravitational forces on the observatory. It moves around the Sun in a near-circular orbit that is smaller than the Earth's circular orbit. Its period, however, is not less than 1 yr but just equal to 1 yr. Show that its distance...

4. Consider a satellite of mass m moving in a circular orbit around the Earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the Earth's surface as illustrated in the figure. (a) Determine the speed of the satellite in terms of g, h, Re (the radius of the Earth), and Me (the mass of the Earth). (b) If the satellite is to be geosynchronous (that is, appearing to remain over a fixed position on the Earth), how...

What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun?...
What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun? In Homework 10, you found the two main angular velocities of the Earth: one due to the Earth's motion around the sun, and one due to its rotation about its own axis. Now let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion. IVO ALV O a ? For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with...

A satellite moves in a circular orbit around Earth at a speed of 5227 m/s. (a) Determine the satellite's altitude above the surface of Earth. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m (b) Determine the period of the satellite's orbit.

2. Consider a system consisting of the Sun, Earth, and a satellite in a circular orbit about the Earth. (a) Plot the gravitational acceleration of the satellite due to Earth's gravity as a function of the altitude of the satellite as measured from the surface of the Earth. Scale your plot so that the altitude goes from 0 km to 104 km. (b) Assume that the satellite instantaneously lies on the line between the Earth and the Sun. Make two...

A satellite in an elliptical orbit around Earth has a speed of 8202 m/s when it is at perigee, the position in the orbit closest to Earth. At this position, the satellite is 122 km above Earth's surface. Part A How far above the ground is the satellite when it is at apogee, the position in its orbit farthest from Earth? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
