A geosynchronous satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth and completes one circle in the same time T during which t

he Earth completes one revolution around its own axis. The satellite has mass m and the Earth has mass M and radius R. In order to be geosynchronous, the satellite must be at a certain height h above the Earth’s surface. Derive equatio of h in terms of M, R, T.

Answer:

   h = r- R   with   r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

Explanation:

As the satellite interacts with the Earth, let's use the law of universal gravitation

            F = G m M / r²

Let's write Newton's second law

           F = m a

           a = v2 / r

   

          G m M / r² = m v² / r

          G M / r = v²

          r = G M / v²

Let's work on satellite speed, counting speed, so we use uniform speed expressions

          v = d / t

Let's look for the distance it travels in a complete orbit and its time is equal to one (1) day since the satellite is geosynchronous

           d = 2π r

           t = T = 1 day (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s

           v = 2 π R / T

Let's calculate

           r = G M (T / 2π r)²

           r = G M T² / 4π² r²

           r³ = G M T² / 4π²

           r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

This distance (r) is measured from the center of the earth, let's get the height (h) from the planet's surface

          r = R + h

          h = r- R

What is the science behind the making of pop-up books?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer

The moveable parts of the pop up book are of often cut out by hand and are folded and glued by hand upon the printed pages. The cover is glued or sewn to the lining. Front and backs are often made up from board, which is just a heavier gauge paper than is used for the pages.

How to solve for time given distance and velocity
Virty [35]

Answer:

Well, I think you're talking about kinematics, especially uniform rectilinear motion. We know that there is a specific equation for that:

S = Vt + S0

With S being the distance, V the velocity, t the time and S0 the initial distance (initial displacement).

From this you can calculate t, if that's what you want.
