Derive an expression for orbital velocity, time period & energy of a satellite. Alsofind the value of orbital velocity & time period if satellite is orbiting very close to the surface of Earth. |
|
Answer» The orbital speed can be found USING v = SQRT(G*M/R). The R value (radius of orbit) is the earth's radius plus the HEIGHT above the earth - in this case, 6.77 x 106 m. |
