If we wanted to increase the Hubble Space Telescope’s altitude above Earth and keep it in a stable orbit, we also would need to:
(a)increase its orbital speed.
(b)increase its weight.
(c)decrease its weight.
(d)decrease its orbital speed.
Decrease its orbital speed
(To be a telescope in stable condition
Centrifugal force = gravitational force



When we increase the altitude
R will be R+H

so velocity need to decrease to stable condition

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an altitude of 569 km. Find the speed of the telescope and the orbital period of the telescope.
please refer to picture
A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth. To increase the speed of the satellite while maintaining a circular orbit, one would need to a. b. c. d. increase in the satellite's mass. decrease in the satellite's mass. increase in the satellite's orbital radius. decrease the satellite's orbital radius. none of the above.
1. An international space station in the circular orbit at 5500 km above the Earth surface needs to change its orbit to escape from cosmic debris. Find the new orbital altitude for two possible orbits: a) where its speed is increased v=1.1vo or b) its period: is decreased T-0.9T.
Major Tom orbits the planet Earth aboard a geosynchronous space station. In a geosynchronous orbit, the station stays above the same spot on the surface of the planet and orbits in time with Earth’s rotation. A) What is the space station’s orbital speed? Assume the radius is perfectly circular. B) What is the only possible radius for such an orbit? (You may calculate the radius from the center of the Earth) C) Major Tom’s weight on the surface of Earth...
Part A The International Space Station is orbiting at an altitude of about 370 km above the earth's surface. The mass of the earth is 5.97 x 1024 kg, the radius of the earth is 6.38 x 10 m, and G- 6.67 x 10-11 N m2/kg2. Assuming a circular orbit, (a) what is the period of the International Space Station's orbit? Submit Request Answer Part B (b) what is the speed of the International Space Station in its orbit? m/s...
The International Space Station is orbiting at an altitude of about 370 km above Earth's surface. The mass of the earth is 5.976 x 10^24 kg and the radius of earth is6.378 x 10^6 m.a) Assuming circular orbit, what is the period of the International Space Station's Orbit?b) Assuming circular orbit , what is the speed of the International Space Station in it's orbit?
The International Space Station whose mass is 420 tons is orbiting at an altitude of about 400 km above the earth's surface. The mass of the earth is 5.976 × 102 4 kg and the radius of the earth is 6.378 × 106 m. (a) What is the gravitational force exerted on the Space Station by the earth? (b) Assuming a circular orbit, what is the period of the International Space Station's orbit? (c) Assuming a circular orbit, what is...
The space shuttle typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. The shuttle can travel in a circular orbit, at constant speed, without any need for the rocket engine to be on, if it travels at just the right speed (a) Given that the value of g is 8.50 m/s2 at an altitude of 500 km, determine the value of the shuttle's...
The International Space Station, ISS hereafter, has an orbital period of approxi- mately 93 minutes. Determine the following: 12. How fast is the ISS moving? 13. How far above the surface of the Earth is the ISS? 14. Using only your answer to question 12 and the given orbital perdiod of the ISS, determine how high the Hubble Space Telescope orbits above the surface of the Earth, if its orbital period is 95.42 minutes 15. If NASA launched portable rocket-boosters...
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits about 600 km above the Earth. It's 2.4 meters across. If we were to aim the HST down instead of up, how big would be the smallest details we can make out on the surface using visible light?
