However the presence of satellites in eccentric orbits allows for collisions at up to 4 km s.
Two artificial satellites are of same mass moving around the earth.
What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on b compared to that acting on a.
Two satellites a and b of the same mass are going around earth in concentric orbits.
One satellite is twice as massive as the other.
D the one with the large mass.
Which of the two will be moving more slowly in its orbit.
It will then go into a different orbit.
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.
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.
Medium earth orbit meo most meo satellites are at an altitude of 20 000 km and time for one orbit is 12 hours.
Two debris fields are shown.
Two satellites a b are in the same orbit around the earth b being behind a.
Around geostationary space and low earth orbit.
If the mass of the earth was quadrupled and nothing else was changed.
B cannot overtake a by increasing its speed.
The following statements refer to man made artificial satellites in orbit around earth.
C the one with smaller mass.
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.
Which is an accurate statement.
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.
The centripetal force is whatever force is causing the centripetal acceleration.
Two artificial satellites are in circular orbits about the earth.
Time for one orbit is 24 hours.
It s the same d.
The distance of satellite b from earth s center is twice that of satellite a.
As time period of different satellites are equal so r will be same for both satellites.
Geostationary orbit geo 36 000 km above the earth.
