A satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its

radius is 6.38 x 106 m. What is the period of the satellite?

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

d = 2\pi r ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s

Now, we can solve for the period:

T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}

According to Leverrier, he stated that an invisible planet was pulling the planet Uranus off its predicted course around the sun.

In such a way, human beings are pulled off course by the invisible forces of their unconscious minds. The unconscious minds of people control the thoughts of people.

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
