A satellite which appears to be stationary at a given spot above the equator is called a ___________satellite

Find the expression of the orbital speed of satellite revolving around the earth.

Suppose that a satellite in space, an earth station and the centre of earth all lie in the same plane. Let r be the radius of earth and R be the distance from the centre of earth to the satellite. Let d be the distance from the earth station from the satellite. Let 30^(@) be the angle of elevation from the earth station to the satellite. if the line segment connecting earth station and satellite subtends angle alpha at the centre of earth, then prove that d =R sqrt(1 + ((r )/(R))^(2) - 2(r )/(R ) cos alpha) .

The weight of an astronaut, in an artificial satellite revolving around the Earth is:

What is the time period of satellite near the earth's surface? (neglect height of the orbit of satellite from the surface of the earth)?

A satellite is projected vertically upwards from an earth station. At what height above the earth's surface will the force on the satellite due to the earth be reduced to half its value at the earth station? (Radius of the earth is 6400 km.)

The energy required to launch an orbiting satellite out of earth’s gravitational influence is more/less than the energy required to project a stationary object at the same height (as the satellite) out of earth’s influence.

A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of 5R above the surface of the earth, R being the radius of the earth. Find the time period of another satellite at a height of 2R from the surface of the earth.

As you have learnt in the text, a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36,000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth’s gravity at the site of this satellite ? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero). Mass of the earth = 6.0 xx 10^(24) kg." radius" = 6400 km .
