Different satellites orbit the earth with a vast range of altitudes, from just a couple hundred km, all the way to tens of thousands of km above the surface. The international space station (iss) is in a low earth orbit, just 400km above the surface (you can see it with the naked eye at sunset and sunrise as a bright, moving dot). At this altitude, the acceleration due to gravity has a value of 8. 69 m/s2. (assuming that the radius of the earth is 6400km). Required:
a. What is the speed of the ISS?
b. What is the orbital period (T) of the ISS in minutes?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)
