Determine the orbital speed (in mi/hr) of a 460-kg satellite that orbits Earth at location that is 1230 miles above Earth's surface. Use the Table of Planetary Data and the fact that 1.0 mile = 1609 m and 1.0 m/s = 2.24 mi/hr.

Consider an orbital location 2400 miles above the Moon's surface. Given that 1 mile = 1609 m, use the Table of Planetary Data to calculate …

The acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s/s but the value decreases with increasing distance from Earth's center. Determine the altitude above the Earth's surface that you must be located to experience an acceleration of gravity of 1.72 m/s/s. Express your answer in terms of Earth-radii; that is, express the answer as the number of times greater than 6.38x10⁶ m.

A satellite orbits Earth at a location of 296 km above its surface. Use orbital equations to determine the … 

(Given: G = 6.674x10^-11 N·m²/kg²; M_Earth = 5.974x10²⁴ kg; R_Earth = 6.378x10⁶ m )

Geostationary satellites are satellites which are orbiting the Earth above the equator and make one complete orbit every 24 hours. Because their orbital period is synchronized with the Earth's rotational period, a geostationary satellite can always be found in the same position in the sky relative to an observer on Earth. (GIVEN: M_Earth = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg)

A satellite with a mass of 535 kg is in circular orbit about the Earth at a height above the Earth equal to 1.30 times the mean radius of the earth. (R_earth = 6.38x10⁶ m and M_Earth = 5.98x10²⁴ kg). Determine the …
