Scientists want to place a 4300 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2607 m/s in a perfectly circular orbit. Here is some information that may help solve this problem: mmars = 6.4191 x 10^23 kg rmars = 3.397 x 10^6 m G = 6.67428 x 10^-11 N-m2/kg2 the question is 1- Which of the following quantities would change the radius the satellite needs to orbit at? the mass of...
A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.45 x 10^7 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 x 10^24 kg and its radius 6.38 x 10^6 m. What is the orbital period of this GPS satellite? With what speed does it orbit the Earth?
Scientists want to place a 2600 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2482 m/s in a perfectly circular orbit. Here is some information that may help solve this problem: m_mars = 4191 times 10^23 kg r_mars 3.397 times 10^6 m G = 6.67428 times 10^-11 N-m^2/kg^2 What radius should the satellite move at in its orbit? (Measured from the center of Mars.) What is the force of attraction between...
