- 4 Hello, I have questions about the physics, can you please help me with your diagram and explanation? I am highly appreciate it and thank you very much! In 1843, a comet passed extremely close to the sun, mass Ms: its distance from the perihelion was d = 6.1*10^3 * a0, where a0 is the radius of the Earth's orbit. Accurate measurements showed that the eccentricity of the comet was e=1-x with x = 9.4*10^-5. Given u = 30 km/s is the speed of revolution of the Earth around the Sun. (a) Express the product GMs as a function of u and a0. (b) Considering that the trajectory of the comet is quasi-parabolic, calculate its speed of passage vp at the perihelion.

A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.arrow_forward
