Expert Answer
Step 1
The radius of orbit is given by
r=R+h
The orbital velocity is given by
GM
V
Step 2
mass of satellite, m = 2600 kg, height, h = 450 km, mass of earth, M = 5.97 x 1024 kg,
radius of earth, R= 6400 km
(a) The radius is
r= 6400 + 450 = 6850 km
(b) The orbital speed is
6.67x10-"x5.97x104
V =
6850x1000
v = 7624. 3 m/s = 7.62 km /s
(c) The orbital period is
T = 24I
T
2x3.14x6850x1000
7624.3
T = 5542.2s = 1.57 hours
(d) the radial acceleration is
a =
7624.3x7624.3
6850x1000
a =
a = 8. 49 m/s?
