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