Determine the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface of the earth.

The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface of the earth is

What is a geostationary satellite ?

If the radius of the earth is R, what will be the distance of a geostationary satellite from the centre of the earth ?

An artificial satellite is moving in an orbit around the earth with a velocity equal to one-third the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. (i) Find the height of the satellite from the surface of the earth.

As you have learnt in the text ,a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36000 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= 6.0xx10^(24)kg , radius =6400 km.

Two satellites A and B of the same mass revolve around the earth in circular orbits. They are at heights of R and 3R respectively from the surface of the earth (R=radius of the earth). Find the ratio of their kinetic energies and potential energies.
