If a satellite circulate around the earth at a height of 5,113.68 km above the earth's surface, given the earth radius is 3958.8 miles and mass is 5.98 x1024 kg, use G=6.67x 10-11 Nm2/kg2, find the period of this satellite in unit hours?
using Kepler's 3rd law
T^2 = 4 pi^2 R^3 / ( GM)
T^2 = 4* 3.14^2 * (5113.68* 10^3 + 3958.8* 1.6* 10^3)^3 / ( 6.67* 10^-11* 5.98* 10^24)
T = 3.383 hours

A satellite is in orbit around Earth at a height of 120 km above Earth’s surface. Find the orbital speed of the satellite. (Mass of the earth is 6*1024 kg and the radius of Earth is 6371 km)
Find the height H of a geosynchronous satellite above the surface of the earth. You may well want to find the radius of the orbit R first. You may use the following constants: The universal gravitational constant G is 6.67×10−11Nm2/kg2. The mass of the earth is 5.98×1024kg. The mass of the satellite is 2.10×102kg. The radius of the earth is 6.38×106m. Give the height of the orbit above the surface in km to three significant digits.
A satellite m = 500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d = 218 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re = 6.38 × 106 m and the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 and the Earth's mass is me = 5.98 × 1024 kg. What is the speed of the satellite in m/s?
Find the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth with a radius 2.77 times the mean radius of the Earth. (Radius of Earth -6.37x103 km, mass of Earth 5.98x1024 kg, G - 6.67x10 11 Nm2/kg2.)
A satellite is in a circular orbit about the Earth at a distance of four (4) Earth radii above the surface of the Earth. What is the velocity of the satellite? (Earth's mass: ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg; the radius of the Earth: 6.4 x 106m ; G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2 ). A) 4,072.5 m/s B)3,530.5 m/s C)5,582.2 m/s D)7,465.9 m/s
A satellite moves in orbit about the Earth at a height of 9500 km above the Earth's surface. Find: a) the velocity of the satellite; b) its period of rotation; c) the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force on the satellite if it has a mass of 2500 kg; d) if the satellite's velocity is increased by 20%, at what height must it now orbit above the Earth? (Note: Changing the satellite's velocity also changes the satellite's period of rotation).
What is the height H above the earth's surface at which all geosynchronous satellites (regardless of mass) must be placed in orbit? Note: A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours is called a geosynchronous satellite. Mass of Earth: 6*1024 kg, radius of Earth = 6400 km. Note that the distance of the satellite from the Earth (r) in the formula is the distance from the center of the Earth. When you find the total distance r,...
A satellite travels around Earth in uniform circular motion, at a height of 35,800 km above Earth's atoms. The satellite has a mass of 580 kg. a) what is the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by Earth? b) How fast must the satellite be moving to retain this orbit (relative to the center of Earth)
A 270 kg satellite is orbiting on a circular orbit 6180 km above the Earth's surface. Determine the speed of the satellite. (The mass of the Earth is 5.97×1024 kg, and the radius of the Earth is 6370 km.)
A spy satellite is in circular orbit around Earth. It makes one revolution in 7.20 h. Mass of Earth is 5.974 × 1024 kg, radius of Earth is 6371 km and Gravitational constant G is = 6.674 × 10−11 N·m2/kg2. How high above Earth’s surface is the satellite?
