What linear speed must an earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 159 km?

Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r

Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.

Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km

Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A)  power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B)  energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

         1 day = 24 hours

        power = \frac{energy}{time}

        power = \frac{5}{24}

          power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

         

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

    assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

     1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

            energy = power x time

            energy = 208 x 31,536,000

            energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
