An astronaut orbiting the Earth is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.17 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite. m/s Determine the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. min

What are (a) the speed and (b) the period of a 420 kg satellite in an approximately circular orbit 590 km above the surface of Earth? Suppose the satellite loses mechanical energy at the average rate of 1.5×105 J per orbital revolution. Adopting the reasonable approximation that the satellite's orbit becomes a "circle of slowly diminishing radius, ' determine the satellite's (c) altitude, (d) speed, and (e) period at the end of its 1331 th revolution. (f) What is the magnitude of the average retarding force on the satellite? Is angular momentum around Earth's center conserved for (g) the satellite and (h) the satellite-Earth system (assuming that system is isolated)?

A spacecraft orbits the Earth unpowered in a circular path at a height of 314 km above the Earth's surface, as shown in the figure. At position A thrusters are applied briefly that DOUBLE the satellite's speed. You may assume: RE = 6,380,000 m; ME = 5.98E24 kg and G = 6.673E−11 N.m2/kg2. What is the period the spacecraft before the thrusters are applied? What is the angular velocity of the craft at B with respect to the Earth's centre, ωB, when the radius has increased by 19.1% from the circular orbit radius?
