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...

An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius r.
An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius r. The force required to produce the centripetal component of acceleration is called the centripetal force and is given by F=mv2/r. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by F=GMm/d2, where d is the distance between the centers of the two bodies of masses M and m, and G is a gravitational constant. The speed required for circular motion is v= √(GM/r). Use the...

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...

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 2.52 106 m. (a) Find the period of the orbit. (Hint: Modify Kepler's third law: T2 =(4π^2/GMs)r^3 so it is suitable for objects orbiting the Earth rather than the Sun. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 106 m, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 1024 kg.) _______________h (b) Find the speed of the satellite. _________km/s (c) Find the acceleration of the satellite....
