a 83.5 kg satellite has a perigee of 6.61 x 10^6m and a apogee of 7.33 x 10^6m. What is the difference in gravitational potential energy as it moves from perigee to apogee.
Homework Answers
In this case the gravitational PE is given by
U = -GMm/r
where r is the distance from the center of the earth
So
Ua = Uf = -GMm/Ra
Up = Ui = -GMm/Rp
so
Uf - Ui = -GMm(1/Ra - 1/Rp)
Rp,a must be in meteres
G = 6.67E-11
M = 5.98E24kg
m=83.5 kg
Uf - Ui = -GMm(1/Ra - 1/Rp) = -(6.67*10^-11*5.98*10^24*83.5)*[(1/7.33*10^6) - (1/6.61*10^6)]
= 494926326.43 J = 4.95*10^8 J

A 7340-kg satellite has an elliptical orbit, as in the figure.
The point on the orbit that is farthest from the earth is called
the apogee and is at the far right side of the drawing. The point
on the orbit that is closest to the earth is called the perigee and
is at the far left side of the drawing. Suppose that the speed of
the satellite is 2700 m/s at the apogee and 8150 m/s at the
perigee....
