:D wats the difference between low earth orbits, the geostationary and geosynchronous...
i need specifics thoguh :(
eg. speed, height, orbital decay!
thanks BORED
worked it ou
i think i worked it out
last question) GPE at satelllite= -7.7 x 10^31
GPE on Earth: -9.4 x 10^34
negate the 2 : 9.37 x 10^34
KE=GPE
1/2 m v^2 = 9.37 x 10^34
v = 3.5 x 10^16
this is a question that is hard
can u help me do it???
THANKS!
A satellite of mass 150 kg orbits Earth at a distance of 7.8x10^6 m (from centre of earth)
1) calculate the magnitude of gravitationsal force between EArth and the satellite
2) the magnitude of the centripetal...
