Two satellites a and b of the same mass are going around earth in concentric orbits.
Two artificial satellites are of same mass moving around the earth.
The distance of satellite b from earth s center is twice that of satellite a.
What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on b compared to that acting on a.
The following statements refer to man made artificial satellites in orbit around earth.
Two debris fields are shown.
What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on b to that acting on a.
Time period of artificial satellite is given as t 2π r gm where m is mass of the earth and r is the radius of path where satellite is orbiting.
Two satellites of mass m1 and m2 m1 m2 are revolving around the earth in orbits of radii r1 and r2 r1 r2 with velocities v1 and v2 respectively in this case 1 v1 v2.
One satellite is twice as massive as the other.
This is to match the rotation of the earth so that the satellite appears to stay above the same point above the earth s surface.
Two satellites orbit the earth in circular orbits of the same radius.
The distance of satellite b from earth s center is twice that of satellite a.
Medium earth orbit meo most meo satellites are at an altitude of 20 000 km and time for one orbit is 12 hours.
The centripetal force is whatever force is causing the centripetal acceleration.
It will then go into a different orbit.
Geostationary orbit geo 36 000 km above the earth.
Space debris at geostationary orbits typically has a lower collision speed than at leo since all geo satellites orbit in the same plane altitude and speed.
However the presence of satellites in eccentric orbits allows for collisions at up to 4 km s.
D the one with the large mass.
Which of the two will be moving more slowly in its orbit.
Around geostationary space and low earth orbit.
Two satellites a and b of the same mass are going around earth in concentric orbits.
It s the same d.
If the mass of the earth was quadrupled and nothing else was changed.
Time for one orbit is 24 hours.
B cannot overtake a by increasing its speed.
C the one with smaller mass.
Which is an accurate statement.
