(a)
The velocity of the satellite at the point C.
(a)

Answer to Problem 90P
The velocity of the satellite at the point C is 3.07 km/s.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for velocity of the satellite.
v=2π(r+h)T (I)
Here, v is the velocity of the satellite, r is the radius of the Earth, h is the altitude of the satellite above the Earth’s surface, and T is the orbital period of the Earth.
Conclusion:
Substitute 6371 km for r, 35800 km for h, and 86400 s for T in equation (I) to find v.
v=2π(6371 km+35800 km)86400 s=2(3.14)(6371 km+35800 km)86400 s=3.07 km/s
Therefore, the velocity of the satellite at the point C is 3.07 km/s.
(b)
The average velocity of the satellite for one quarter of an orbit starts at point A to the end point B.
(b)

Answer to Problem 90P
The average velocity of the satellite for one quarter of an orbit starts at point A to the end point B is 2.76 km/s.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for average velocity of the satellite.
vavg=ΔrΔt (II)
Here, vavg is the average velocity, Δr is the change in position, and Δt is the time period.
Substitute (r+h)√2 for Δr and T/4 for Δt in equation (II).
vavg=(r+h)√2T/4=4(r+h)√2T
Conclusion:
Substitute 6371 km for r, 35800 km for h, and 86400 s for T in above relation to find vavg.
vavg=4(6371 km+35800 km)√2(86400 s)=2.76 km/s
Therefore, the angle does the wheel rotate during the third 1.0 s time interval is 450°.
(c)
The average acceleration of the satellite for one quarter of an orbit starts at point A to the end point B.
(c)

Answer to Problem 90P
The average acceleration of the satellite for one quarter of an orbit starts at point A to the end point B is 0.201 m/s2.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for average acceleration of the satellite.
aavg=ΔvΔt (III)
Here, aavg is the average acceleration, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the time period.
Since, the average acceleration is in the same direction as,
Δv=vB−vA=√(Δvx)2+(Δvy)2=√v2+v2=v√2
Substitute v√2 for Δv and T/4 for Δt in equation (III).
aavg=v√2T/4=4v√2T
Conclusion:
Substitute 3.07 km/s for v and 86400 s for T in above relation to find aavg.
aavg=4(3.07 km/s×103 m1 km)√2(86400 s)=4(3.07×103 m/s)√2(86400 s)=0.201 m/s2
Therefore, the average acceleration of the satellite for one quarter of an orbit starts at point A to the end point B is 0.201 m/s2.
(d)
The acceleration of the satellite at point D.
(d)

Answer to Problem 90P
The acceleration of the satellite at point D is 0.224 m/s2.
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for gravitational force.
F=GmMEr2 (IV)
Here, F is the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the Earth, G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite, ME is the mass of the Earth, and r is the distance between the satellite and Earth.
Write the expression from Newton’s second law.
F=mac (V)
Here, F is the force exerted on the satellite and ac is the centripetal acceleration.
Conclusion:
Solve the equation (IV) and (V) to find centripetal acceleration.
mac=GmMEr2ac=GME(r+h)2
Substitute 6.673×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2 for G, 5.97×1024 kg for ME, 6371 km for r, and 35800 km for h in above relation to find ac.
ac=(6.673×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2)(5.97×1024 kg)(6371 km×103 m1 km+35800 km×103 m1 km)2=(6.673×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2)(5.97×1024 kg)(6371×103 m+35800×103 m)2=0.224 m/s2
Therefore, the acceleration of the satellite at point D is 0.224 m/s2.
