The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is
v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a))
where
v = velocity
mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM)
r = radius satellite currently at
a = semi-major axis
Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to
v = sqrt(mu/r)
The value of mu for earth is
3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2
Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So
86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds
And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity
2 pi r / 5520.767
Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality
v = 2 pi r / 5520.767
v = sqrt(mu/r)
mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2
2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r)
Square both sides
1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r
Multiply both sides by r
1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2
Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2
r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3
Take the cube root of both sides
r = 6751375.945 m
Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So
6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m
Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives
373.2 km</span>
Use w=m*g value of g is 1.67m/s^2
10. A safe place to use the trebuchet would be away from other buildings and people. A good example of a place would be a large field with no nearby structures.
14. Many factors need to be kept consistent throughout the experiment. One example of a variable that would need to be consistent is the weight and size of the projectile.
15. It is important to do many trials so that you can make sure that the results of each trial are nearly the same. If they are all vastly different, then it means that something has gone wrong.
Sorry I was only able to answer a few questions, but I hope these few answers help! :)
