Geostationary satellites have orbits that have an altitude of about 36,000 km and a period of exactly 24 hours. Estimate the orbital period of a GPS satellite (these orbit at altitudes of roughly 20,000 km). Explain how you get your answer. [Hint: use one of Kepler's laws to do the calculation].

KEPLER'S THIRD LAW 2 \T2 A satellite orbits the Earth with an altitude of 35870 km. Use Kepler's third law to find the period of the satellite, using the Moon as your other value. Calculate the speed of the satellite. Mars has a period of 1.88 Earth Years. Earth has an average orbital radius of 149.6 x 100 km. Use Kepler's Third Law to find the average orbital radius of Mars, in 100 km.

8. A geostationary satellite above the equator (GEO) undergoes uniform circular motion and orbits the Earth matching the same period of rotation as the Earth (24 hours). If the GEO is at orbital altitude of 35, 786 km above sea level at the equator, what is the centripetal acceleration this GEO would experience?

6.43- Satellites and Kepler's Laws: An Argument for Simplicity A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth's rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for the moon using the following data: Distance from Earth to Moon...

Problem 1 a. The apogee and perigee altitude (distance from the surface of Earth) of the Chandra X-rays Observatory are 139,200 km and 9,620 km (final orbit after 4th burn, Aug 7, 1999). Estimate its orbital period (in hours). Hint: the mass of Chandra is much smaller than the mass of Earth. b. Communications and weather satellites are often placed in geosynchronous “parking” orbits above Earth. These are the orbits where satellites can remain fixed above a specific point on...

Newton's version of Kepler's Law Force Example Use what we know about the earth's orbit to estimate the mass of the sun. For this problem we can use Newton's form of Kepler's law Solving for the sum of the masses we get to use this law we need all our values to be kilograms, meters, and seconds. a 1AU-149.6x10P m and p- 1 year (365.25 days/year)(24 hours/day)(3600 seconds/hour)-3.15x 10" sec.

Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...

Tethers are long dangling wires that use the velocity of a spacecraft through the Earth's magnetic field to generate electrical power. Alternatively, electrical currents pushed through the tether might be used to change the spacecraft velocity for either propulsion or for braking and reentry. Several 'space tether experiments have been flown to investigate the possible use if Faraday's law for power generation and/or propulsion. Examples are the 1996 joint US/Italy effort to deploy a 20 km tether from one of...
