What are the conditions under which a rocket, fired from the earth, launches an artificial satellite of the earth?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Following are the basic conditions, (i) The rocket must take the satellite to a suitable height above surface of Earth. (ii) From the desired height, the satellite must be projected with a suitable speed, called the orbital speed. (iii) In the orbital path of satellite, the air resistance should be negligible so that its speed does not decrease and it does not burn due to the heat produced.
