Velocity (m/s)A satellite of mass 200 kg is launched from a site on Earth’s equator into an orbit 200 km above the surface of Earth. a. What is the satellite’s speed before it’s launched (in m/s)? (Hopefully, it’s moving along with the surface of the Earth as the Earth rotates.) b. What is the satellite’s speed in its orbit (in m/s)? (Remember there is only onespeed a satellite can have in order to maintain a stable circular orbit with agiven radius.) c. Assuming a circular orbit, what is the orbital period of this satellite? (In other words, how long (in hours) does it take for the satellite to complete one orbit?) d. What is the minimum energy (work) necessary to place the satellite in orbit,assuming no air friction? (Remember, work is the amount of energy added tothe system, and the total energy of the system is a combination of kinetic andgravitational potential energies.)A planet of mass ?=2.85×1024 kg orbits a star of mass ?=6.85×1029 kg in a circular path.

- Kepler’s Law relates the period T ( in a sec) of a satellite to the distance from the center of the earth r (in m) to some physical constants as shown: T2 = (2π/ G ME) r3 Where G = Universal Constant of Gravitation and ME is the mass of the earth. A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.Titania completes one (circular) orbit of Uranus in 8.71 days.
