Calculate the velocity of a 1650 kilogram satellite.

There's not enough information given to do that calculation.

-- The question doesn't specify whether the satellite is on the
shelf in the Vehicle Assembly Building before being installed
onto the booster, or inside the nose-cone as the rocket is slowly
being rolled to the launch-pad, or on its ascent to orbit after launch,
or in orbit.  Its velocity in each of these situations is different.

-- The question reveals only the satellite's mass, but the answer
doesn't depend on that number.  The satellite's velocity depends
on the speed of the truck or the rocket carrying it, or the size of
the orbit it's in.  The question doesn't give any of these.

==> In particular, the size of a satellite's orbit, or its speed in that
orbit, DO NOT depend on its mass.

For example: 
There are hundreds of TV satellites ... the ones that match the
Earth's rotation and appear motionless in the sky.  They have
many different sizes, shapes, and masses, but they're all in the
same geostationary orbit, 22,000 miles above the equator, and
they all have the same average orbital velocity, zero displacement
per (23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds).

(Equation 17.6) Write the equation for the path-length difference at a bright fringe (constructive interference). Define all var
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  d sin tea = m λ

Explanation:

When we have a two-slit system, the optical path difference determines whether the intensity reaching an observation screen is maximum or zero.

To find this difference in optical path, we assume that the screen is much farther than the gap is, we draw a perpendicular from ray 1 to the second ray

       OP = d sin θ

now to have constructive interference and see a bright line this leg must be an integer number of wavelengths, ose

            d sin tea = m λ

where

d             is the distance between the two slits

θ     complexion the angle sea the point hold it between the two slits

λ    the wavelength of the coherent light used

m   an integer, which counts the number of lines of interference

Units in the SI system

d, lam in meters

θ degrees

m an integer
