Give the answers for Parts a,b and c please.  You will determine the energy required to launch a 700.0 kg satellite from Cape Canaveral (28.5 degrees latitude) into a geosynchronous orbit above the Earth. PART a: A geosynchronous orbit has a period of about 24 hours, so that a satellite places there will appear motionless (hovering in the sky) to an observer on the surface of the Earth.  A geosynchronous orbit has a radius of ? km PART b: On the launchpad, the launch rocket has an initial velocity of ? m/s.  (NOTE: this answer is not zero!) PART :c The energy required to place the satellite in this orbit is ? MJ (Note-the answer should be provided in MegaJoules)
