Find the difference in gravitational potential energy for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee.
Homework Answers
G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m²/kg²
ME = 5.97 x 1024 kg
U = -G ME m / r
ΔU = Up - Ua = (-G ME m /
rp) - (-G ME m / ra) = G
ME m (1 / ra - 1 / rp)
= (6.67*10-11)*(5.97*1024)*83.5((1/7330*103)-(1/6610*103))
= - 4.94 x 108 J

1) The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik I, launched October 4, 1957. The mass of Sputnik I was 83.5 kg, and its distances from the center of the Earth at apogee and perigee were approximately 7380 km and 6630 km, respectively. Find the difference in gravitational potential energy for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee. (Use a positive sign for an increase, negative sign for a decrease in U.) Answer in Joules. 2)...

A satellite is put into an elliptical orbit around the Earth. When the satellite is at its perigee, its nearest point to the Earth, its height above the ground is hp = 249.0 km, and it is moving with a speed of up = 7.950 km/s. The gravitational constant G equals 6.67 x 10-11 mº.kg-1.5-2 and the mass of Earth equals 5.972 x 1024 kg. When the satellite reaches its apogee, at its farthest point from the Earth, what is...

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...
