A satellite is revolving round the earth at a height of 600 km. find a. the speed f the satelite and b. the time period of thesatellit. Radius of the earth =6400 km and mass of the earth `=6xx10^24kg`. |
Answer» The distance of the satellite form the centre of the earth is 6400 km+600 km=7000 km. The speed of the satellite is `sqrt((GM)/a)` `sqrt(6.67xx10^-11N-m^2/kg^2x6xx10^24kg)/(7000xx10^3m)` `=7.6xx10^3ms^-=7.6s^-1` The time period is `T=(2pia)/v` `=(2pixx7000xx10^3m)/(7.6xx1063ms^-1)=5.8xx10^3s`. |
