Satellites feel the gravitational pull of the earth. They remain in orbit because of their velocity, which acts to counteract gravity. (The satellite wants to fly out in a straight line, but gravity forces it to curve towards the earth.) Consider a communications satellite that needs to be 41000 km above the Earth's surface.
(a) Assuming the satellite travels in a perfect circle, what is the radius of the satellite's travel. (The radius of the earth is 6375 km.)?
(b) At the satellite's altitude, the acceleration of gravity is 0.177 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the tangential velocity that the satellite must have to remain in orbit?
c) How much time will the satellite take to orbit the earth?
