When a force causes a body to move, work is done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of the energy transfer when a force 'F' moves an object through a distance 'd'. So we say that energy is transferred from one energy store to another when work is done, and therefore, energy transferred = work done.
Answer:
Explanation:
The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.
Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:
Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.
Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:
Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So and
(Since
). Then, we get:
In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).
