A satellite has a mass of 6463 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.82 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

is 2.0 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.29 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet’s surface?

Answer:

The weight of the planet is 29083.5 N .

Explanation:

mass of satellite, m = 6463 kg

height of orbit, h = 4.82 x 10^5 m

period, T = 2 h

radius of planet, R = 4.29 x 10^6 m

Let the acceleration due to gravity at the planet is g.

T = 2\pi\sqrt\frac{(R+h)^3}{gR^2}\\\\2\times 3600 =  2\times3.14\sqrt\frac{(4.29+0.482)^3\times10^{18}}{g\times 4.29\times 4.29\times 10^{12} }\\\\24.2 g =108.67\\\\g = 4.5 m/s^2

The weight of the satellite at the surface of the planet is

W = m g = 6463 x 4.5 = 29083.5 N

Conversations with astronauts on lunar walks had an echo that was used to estimate the distance to the Moon. The sound spoken by
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

d ≈ 320000 km

Explanation:

Echoes occurs as a result of the bouncing back of sound waves as it impinges on an obstacle. Since the echo covers two distances (i.e forth and back) the distance is written as 2d.

Velocity of radio waves is taken as the speed of light = 3*10^{8}m/s^{2}

time =2.15s

DISTANCE = VELOCITY *TIME

2d=vt

d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{3*10^{8}*2.15}{2}

    d= 322500000m

Distance to the moon is approximately 320000km
