A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 1.75 x10*7 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 x10*24 kg and its radius 6.38 x10*6 m. (a) What is the orbital period, in hours, of this GPS satellite? (b) With what speed, in m/s, does it orbit the Earth?
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...
