Synchronous communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit that is 1.25 x 10 m above...
Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is 24 hours. If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a "fixed" point in space. (a) Calculate the radius...
For communications purposes, satellites are typically placed in a circular geosynchronous orbit. If the orbit is in the equatorial plane of the Earth, it is called geostationary. A satellite’s orbital speed in a geostationary orbit is set to match the angular velocity Ωe of the rotating Earth (with mass M), so that as seen from the Earth the satellite is stationary above a fixed point on the Equator. For a satellite of mass m in a geostationary circular orbit then...

Two satellites, of masses m and 3m, respectively, are in the same circular orbit about the Earth's center, as shown in the diagram above. The Earth has mass Me and radius Re. In this orbit, which has a radius of 2Re, the satellites initially move with the same orbital speed vo but in opposite directions. photo of scenario: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=xkrx9u&s=9#.VxYdLMfKe8U a. Calculate the orbital speed v0 of the satellites in terms of G, Me, and Re. b. Assume that the satellites...
