22. An Earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the Earth's surface equal to one Earth radius (4000 miles). At this location, the acceleration due to gravity 13 what factor times the value of g at the Earth's surface? a. There is no acceleration since the satellite is in orbit. b. 2 c. 1/2 d. 1/4 23. An object that is orbiting the Earth at a height of three Earth radil from the center of the Earth has a...
While sitting on the surface of the Earth, a satellite has a weight of 1600 N. This satellite is put into orbit so that it is four times the distance from the center of the Earth as it had been while on the surface of the Earth. What will happen to the weight of the satellite? A. The weight of the satellite will be reduced to 1/2 of its original, making it weigh 800 N. B. The weight of the satellite...
A satellite has a mass of 109 kg and is located at 1.97 106 m above the surface of Earth. (a) What is the potential energy associated with the satellite at this location? J (b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the satellite?

2. The escape velocity for an object on the surface of the Earth is given by: 2GM = 1.12 x10 m/s VaR A projectile is launched from the surface of the earth at a velocity of v0.5vm. To what height above the Earth's surface does the projectile rise if air resistance is neglected? 3. A blimp is filled with 200m of helium. How much total weight (cargo plus the weight of the blimp itself) can the blimp carry? (b) If...
8. Two points A and B located on the surface of the earth are 500km apart. Point A communicates by wireless with point B. Signal from A can travel to B by skywave propagating upward with light velocity c (3 x 103km/s) and reflected down by the ionosphere located 100km above ground, or by ground wave travelling along the ground surface with velocity which is 5% slower than c. What is the time interval between the arrivals of the two...
1. An 8000 kg satellite is launched from the surface of the Earth into outer space. What initial speed is needed by the satellite in order to reach a great (i.e., infinite) distance from the Earth, neglecting the effects of air resistance in the atmosphere? (G = 6.67 × 10−11 N·m2/kg2, ME = 5.97 × 1024 kg, RE = 6.37 × 106 m.) A)9,200 m/s. B)18,900 m/s. C)11,180 m/s. D)25,200 m/s. E)8,450 m/s.
Suppose a satellite was orbiting the Earth just above the surface. What is its centripetal acceleration? Smaller thang Equal to 3 Larger than Impossible to say without knowing the mass A hypothetical planet has a mass of half that of the Earth and a radius of twice that of the Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet in terms of the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth? The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is...
