A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous
Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

A planet's moon travels in an approximately circular orbit of radius 7.0 ✕ 10⁷ m with a period of 6 h 38 min. Calculate the mass
natka813 [3]

Answer:

3.56×10²⁶ Kg.

Explanation:

Note: The gravitational force is acting as the centripetal force.

Fg = Fc........................... Equation 1

Where Fg = gravitational Force, Fc = centripetal force.

Recall,

Fg = GMm/r²......................... Equation 2

Fc = mv²/r............................. Equation 3

Where M = mass of the planet, m = mass of the moon, r = radius of the orbit and G = Universal gravitational constant.

Substituting equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

GMm/r² = mv²/r

Simplifying the equation above,

M = v²r/G .............................. Equation 4.

The period of the moon in the orbit

T = 2πr/v

Making v the subject of the equation,

v = 2πr/T............................. Equation 5

where r = 7.0×10⁷ m, T = 6 h 38 min = (6×3600 + 38×60) s = (21600+2280) s

T = 23880 s, π = 3.14

v = (2×3.14×7.0×10⁷ )/23880

v = 18409 m/s

Also Given: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Also substituting into equation 4

M = 18409²×7.0×10⁷ /(6.67×10⁻¹¹)

M = 3.56×10²⁶ Kg.

Thus the mass of the planet =  3.56×10²⁶ Kg.
