Question
2. Consider a satellite that is in
geosynchronous orbit around
the earth's equator. A
geosynchronous orbit is one in
Earth
which the satellite appears to
satellite
be stationary overhead for
someone looking up at it from
Me
a point on the equator – some
communications satellites are
placed in that orbit because of
that apparent "stationary"
24
property. The mass of the earth is Me = 5.98 ×10ª kg, and the mass of the
satellite m = 100 kg. The radius of the earth is R. = 6.37 × 10°m. The satellite is
%3D
made of titanium, whose specific heat is 134 J/(kg K) (assume the same for
both solid and liquid), the latent heat of fusion is 282.7 kJ/kg, and the melting
temperature is 3695K, the boiling temperature is 5828 K. The gravitational
constant G = 6.673 × 10" N m²/kg².
А.
What is the angular velocity of the satellite?
В.
What is the radius of the orbit of the satellite?
