An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit d=730.0 km above the surface of a planet of radius r=4.55×103 km. The period of revolution of the satellite around the planet is T=2.15 hours. What is the average density of the planet? kg/m3
Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 x 10-11 N.m2/kg2
Mass of the planet = M
Mass of the satellite = m
Radius of the planet = Rp = 4.55 x 103 km = 4.55 x 106 m
Distance of the satellite above the surface of the planet = H = 730 km = 730 x 103 m = 0.73 x 106 m
Radius of orbit of the satellite = R
R = Rp + H
R = 4.55x106 + 0.73x106
R = 5.28 x 106 m
Orbital period of the satellite = T = 2.15 hours = 2.15 x (3600) sec = 7740 sec
Orbital speed of the satellite = V
VT = 2R
V(7740) = 2(5.28x106)
V = 4286.204 m/s
The centripetal force for the circular motion of the satellite is provided by the gravitational force of the planet on the satellite.
M = 1.454 x 1024 kg
Volume of the planet = V0
V0 = 4Rp3/3
V0 = 4(4.55x106)3/3
V0 = 3.945 x 1020 m3
Average density of the planet =
M = V0
1.454x1024 = (3.945x1020)
= 3685.68
kg/m3
Average density of the planet = 3685.68 kg/m3
