Two satellites each of mass 2500 kg and 3000 kg are orbiting the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface of the earth. Is the velocity of the 3000 kg satellite larger than the velocity of the 2500 kg satellite?

A 592-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about earth at a height above earth equal to earth's mean radius.Β What is the orbital speed of the satellite?

Satellites feel the gravitational pull of the earth. They remainin orbit because of their velocity, which acts to counteractgravity. (The satellite wants to fly out in a straight line, butgravity forces it to curve towards the earth.) Consider acommunications satellite that needs to be 39000 km above theEarth's surface.

(a) Assuming the satellite travels in a perfect circle, what is theradius of the satellite's travel. (The radius of the earth is 6375km.)

(b) At the satellite's altitude, the acceleration of gravity is0.193 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the tangential velocity thatthe satellite must have to remain in orbit?

(c) How much time will the satellite take to orbit the earth?
