Imagine yourself in geostationary orbit, this is in an orbit that circles the earth every 24 hours. That is about 6 and a half earth radii out from the center of the earth. Now imagine tether running from geostationary orbit to 1000 km closer to the earth and 1000 km further from the center of the earth. Would a person at either end of the tether feel like they are in zero g, or would they feel a small acceleration toward and away from the earth?

A geostationary orbit is one in which a satellite orbits the Earth (in a circular orbit) in the same time as it takes the Earth to make one full rotation with respect to the stars. a) Given the mass of the Earth, calculate the distance of a geostationary satellite from the center of the Earth. b) If you were standing on the equator with the geostationary satellite at your zenith, how long would it take to receive a radio signal?...

Suppose the space shuttle is in orbit 500 km from the Earth's surface, and circles the Earth about once every 90 min . a) Find the centripetal acceleration of the space shuttle in its orbit. b) Express your answer in terms of g, the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.

An artificial satellite circles the Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00 m/s^2. Determine the orbital period of the satellite. I_o, a satellite of Jupiter, has an orbital period of 1.77 days and an orbital radius of 4.22 times 10^5 km. From these data, determine the mass of Jupiter. A minimum-energy transfer orbit to an outer planet consists of putting a spacecraft on an elliptical trajectory with the departure planet corresponding...

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital speed of ?o=1.10 km/svo=1.10 km/s . The station is equipped with a high velocity projectile launcher, which can be used to launch small projectiles in various directions at high speeds. Most of the time, the projectiles either enter new orbits around the Earth or eventually fall down and hit the Earth. However, as you know from your physics...

Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...

Newton's version of Kepler's Law Force Example Use what we know about the earth's orbit to estimate the mass of the sun. For this problem we can use Newton's form of Kepler's law Solving for the sum of the masses we get to use this law we need all our values to be kilograms, meters, and seconds. a 1AU-149.6x10P m and p- 1 year (365.25 days/year)(24 hours/day)(3600 seconds/hour)-3.15x 10" sec. Placing these values in to our equation we get M+...

Newton's Satellite Directions: Read the background information and complete the activity Newton's Thought Experiment In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton was studying the nature of motion and gravity. He formulated a thought experiment that would eventually become the basis of the development of satellites. Imagine an object is fired from a cannon horizontal to the plane of the earth. The projectile will travel in a horizontal direction and undergo projectile motion as gravity begins to pull the projectile downward....

Mars is a long way away—33.9 million miles to be exact—from Earth. But, that hasn’t stopped NASA from gaining approval in the bipartisan NASA Authorization Act of 2010 to send humans to Mars in the 2030s. While there are amazing technological and physical challenges associated with such an audacious goal, there are also serious organizational behavior challenges in terms of managing emotions and stress during the six- to nine-month-long journey there and back. Astronaut Scott Kelly, who spent one year...
