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?

A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1450 kg. It has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 91 times that of the Sun. The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. Black hole (i) (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. N (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in acceleration grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.) N/kg
