A satellite used in a
cellular telephone
network has a mass of
2380 kg and is in a
circular orbit at a
height of 850 km
above the surface of
the earth.
Part A
What is the gravitational
force Fgrav on the
satellite?
Take the gravitational
constant to be G =
6.67x10-11 N-m2/kg2, the
mass of the earth to be
me = 5.97x1024 kg, and
the radius of the Earth to
be re = 6.38×106 m
A spacecraft of mass m describes a circular orbit of radius ị around
the earth. (a) Show that the additional energy AE that must be
imparted to the spacecraft to transfer it to a circular orbit of larger
radius r, is
GMm(r2 – r¡)
ΔΕ=
where M is the mass of the earth. (b) Further show that if the transfer
from one circular orbit to the other is executed by placing the space-
craft on a transitional semielliptic path AB, the amounts of energy
AE, and AEg which must be imparted at A and B are, respectively,
proportional to r, and r¡:

THANK YOUarrow_forwardA space probe is to be placed in a circular orbit of 5600-mi radius about the planet Venus in a specified plane. As the probe reaches A, the point of its original trajectory closest to Venus, it is inserted in a first elliptic transfer orbit by reducing its speed by ΔvA. This orbit brings it to point B with a much reduced velocity. There the probe is inserted in a second transfer orbit located in the specified plane by changing the direction of its velocity and further reducing its speed by ΔvB.
