A 10 kg satellite circles earth once every 2 h in an orbit having a radius of 8000 km. Assuming that Bohr’s angular momentum postulate applies to satellites just as it does to an electron in the hydrogen atom, find the quantum number of the orbit of the satellite.

The magnitude of angular momentum, orbit radius and frequency of revolution of elctron in hydrogen atom corresponding to quantum number n are L, r and f respectively. Then accoding to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom

A satellite is to be placed in equatorial geostationary orbit around the earth for communication. (a) Calculate height of such a satellite. (b) Find out the minimum number of satellites that are needed to cover entire earth, so that atleast one satellite is visible from any point on the equator. [M = 6 xx 10^(24) kg, R = 6400 km, T = 24 h, G = 667 x 10-^(11) SI unit]

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 6.0xx 10^(24(kg) , Radius = 6400 km .

A 400 kg satellite is in a circular orbit of radius 2 R_(E) about the Earth. How much energy is required to transfer it to a circular orbit of radius 4R_(E) ? What are the changes in the kinetic and potential energies ?

A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth's gravitational influence? Mass of the satellite = 200 kg, mass of the earth = 6.0xx 10^(24) kg, radius of the earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m, G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^( 2)

A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km, above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth's gravitational influence ? Mass of the satellite=200 kg, mass of the earth= 6.0xx10^(24) kg, radius of the earth= 6.4xx10(6) m, G= 6.67xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)Kg^(-2) .
