(1) You are an astronaut in a spacecraft that is orbiting Earth in a circular orbit at a constant rate of one orbit every 90 minutes. Are you accelerating? Explain. If you are accelerating, what is the direction of the acceleration? (2) Astronauts are said to be "weightless" as they orbit the Earth. Does the astronaut m question #4 experience a gravitational force due to the Earth? If there is a force, what is the direction of the force?

The International Space Station typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 400 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. Assume that the space station travels in a circular orbit at constant speed (this is a perfectly reasonable assumption). A. Given that the value of g is 8.68m/s28.68m/s2at an altitude of 400 km, determine the value of the space station's speed in its circular orbit. _______ m/s B. At this...

Does the force of gravity
alone provide the means for the centripetal force, is this why they
are equal ? For explaining why there is no normal force, could you
see it as the astronaut having the same acceleration as the ship
and so the relative acceleration = 0, so it's under the illusion
almost of having no acceleration so there's no force ? Please !! If
you have different reasoning please share. I'm just trying to wrap
my head...

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 2.52 106 m. (a) Find the period of the orbit. (Hint: Modify Kepler's third law: T2 =(4π^2/GMs)r^3 so it is suitable for objects orbiting the Earth rather than the Sun. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 106 m, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 1024 kg.) _______________h (b) Find the speed of the satellite. _________km/s (c) Find the acceleration of the satellite....

4) The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a telescope in orbit around the Earth. Assume that Chandra is in a circular orbit at an altitude of about 7.5x10' m above the Earth's surface. (a) What is the speed of Chandra in orbit? (20 points) (b) How long does it take Chandra to complete one orbit around the Earth? (Note: If you do not get an answer for part (a), solve this part assuming that the answer to part (a) is v...

Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is 24 hours. If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a "fixed" point in space. (a) Calculate the radius...

Question 3 1 pts A spacecraft with mass 1,976 kg is in circular orbit around Earth as shown with the green circle in the figure, at an altitude h = 608 km. At point Pin the orbit (see figure), the spacecraft reduces its speed by 4%, causing it to be in an elliptical orbit. What is the semi-major axis of the elliptical orbit in km? Reminder the radius of the orbit is the altitude plus Re, the radius of Earth....
