Many satellites orbit Earth at maximum altitudes above Earth's surface of 1000 km or less. Geosynchronous satellites, however, orbit at an altitude of 35790 km above Earth's surface. How much more energy is required to launch a 415 kg satellite into a geosynchronous orbit than into an orbit 1000 km above the surface of Earth?

A small asteroid that has a mass of 100 kg is moving at 200 m/s when it is 1110 km above the Moon. 1) How fast will the meteorite be traveling when it impacts the lunar surface if it is heading straight toward the center of the Moon? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) 2) How much work does the Moon do in stopping the asteroid if neither the Moon nor the asteroid heats up in the process? (Express...

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass, based on its size, of 5 x 10°kg. It is approaching the Earth on a head-on course with a velocity of 560 m/s relative to the Earth and is now 4.5x106 km away. Part A With what speed will it hit the Earth's surface, neglecting friction with the atmosphere? Express your answer using two significant figures. V...
