Asatellite of mass 5600 kg orbits the earth and has a period of 6200 s.

a) determine the radius of its circular orbit.(meters)

b) determine the magnitude of the earth's gravitational force on the satellite. (n)

c) determine the altitude of the satellite. (m)
expert answer

(a)  Radius of orbit will be

(b) Earth gravitational force will be

(C) Height will be

Explanation:

We have given

Mass of the earth,

Mass of the satellite, m = 5600 kg

Radius of earth,

Time period T = 6200 sec

We know that

Now

(a) We know that

Radius of the orbit

(b)

Force

(c)

Altitude
