What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement vector when it is directly over the North Pole to when it is at 40° latitude? Earth’s radius is 6,370 km.(a) What linear speed must an Earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 160 km above Earth's surface? (b) What is the period of revolution?

- A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite stays in the same relative position above the earth, as the earth rotates. To do so, the satellite needs to have an orbital period of 1 day. Given that the moon has an orbital period of 27.3 days and a semi-major axis of 384,000 km, determine the radius of a geosynchronous orbit using Kepler's 3rd law. Enter your answer in km.Calculate the mass of the planet (M) by applying Kepler’s 3rd law of the period (T) and radius (r) of a circular for circular orbits at a height of (a) 2000Km and (b) 6000 km . Compare these values. Are they same or different?The orbit of a 1.5 x 1010 kg comet around the Sun is elliptical, with an aphelion distance of 11.0 AU and perihelion distance of 0.890 AU. (Note: 1 AU = one astronomical unit = the average distance from the Sun to the Earth = 1.496 x 101" m.) (a) What is its orbital eccentricity? (b) What is its period? (Enter your answer in yr.) yr (c) At aphelion what is the potential energy (in J) of the comet-Sun system?
- 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.The tidal acceleration due to the moon at the surface of the earth is approximately 2.44*10^-5 m/s^2. If the moon was closer to the earth by a factor of 0.9. What then would the tidal acceleration be?Problem 3.
