- The new position is r = 6867.3(xhat) + 398.8(yhat). The answer to the first problem would be theta = arctan(398.8/6867.3) = 0.058 degrees. But how do you know how much the line of nodes, which is the new position as show in the diagram, should have rotated for a true sun-synchronoous orbit? What is the formula? What are some reasons why there would be any discrepancy between the estimated angle and the actual angle?arrow_forwardAt perigee of an elliptic gravitational orbit a particle experiences an impulse S in the radial direction, sending the particle into another elliptic orbit.Determine the new semi-major axis, eccentricity, and orientation in terms ofthe old.arrow_forwardThree identical point masses of m = 0.1 (kg) are moving at a constant velocity v=10 (m/s) equidistant from each other on a circular orbit of radius R = 0.4 (m).

- A satellite is in a circular earth orbit of radius I'min = 1.67R, where R is the radius of the earth. What is the minimum velocity boost Av necessary to reach point B, which is a distance max = 2.68R from the center of the earth? At what point in the original circular orbit should the velocity increment be added? Answer: Av= i min max B m/sarrow_forwardCan you please help me just with D, F,G harrow_forwardGravitational Slingshot Often in designing orbits for satellites, people use what is termed a "gravitational slingshot effect." The idea is as follows: A satellite of mass m; and speed v,i circles around a planet of mass m, that is moving with speed v in the opposite direction. See the diagram below: Although the satellite never touches the planet, this interaction can still be treated as a collision because of the gravitational interaction between the planet and satellite during the slingshot. Since gravity is a conservative force, the collision is elastic. Use an x-axis with positive pointing to the right. Solve for the unknowns below algebraically first, then use the following values for the parameters. m, = 2.40E+24 kg m; = 880 kg Viz = 3.050E+3 m/s Vpiz = -6.10E+3 m/s Solve for the final velocity of the satellite after the collision.arrow_forward
