Question
Given data for the earth below find the distance a satellite would be from the center of the earth if is orbital speed was 15000m/s? is this possible (or would it put the satellite inside the earth ie would the satellite crash immediately?) you must back up your answer with a calculation note that the mass of the satellite is not needed here

- The orbital speed of a satellite will depend on the strength of gravitational field at the orbital radius. Consider the following situations. Which identical satellite will be travelling faster in each case? Why? a- Satellite A orbits the Earth at twice the orbital radius of Satellite B. b- Satellite A orbits the Sun at the same orbital radius that Satellite B orbits the Earth.(arrow_forwardMY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER A a giant planet with a small moon of has an orbital period of 1.42 days and an orbital radius of 5.52 x 105 km.
