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?

A geostationary orbit is one in which a satellite orbits the Earth (in a circular orbit) in the same time as it takes the Earth to make one full rotation with respect to the stars. a) Given the mass of the Earth, calculate the distance of a geostationary satellite from the center of the Earth. b) If you were standing on the equator with the geostationary satellite at your zenith, how long would it take to receive a radio signal?...

A satellite travels around Earth in uniform circular motion at an altitude of 35,850 km above Earth’s surface. The satellite is in geosynchronous orbit. In the below figure, the satellite moves counterclockwise (ABCDA). (State directions in terms of the x- and y-axes.) The radius of Earth is 6371 km. What is the direction of the satellite’s average velocity for one quarter of an orbit, starting at A and ending at B? Enter the answer in degrees where negative indicates an...

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].
