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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To launch an artificial satellite from Earth using a rocket, there are three essential conditions that must be satisfied: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Achieve Suitable Height**: - The rocket must first ascend to a suitable height above the Earth's surface. This height is necessary to minimize the effects of atmospheric drag and to ensure that the satellite can operate in a vacuum where there is minimal air resistance. 2. **Achieve Orbital Speed**: ...

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit around the earth with a speed equal to half the magnitude of escape velocity from the earth. (i) Determine the height of the satellite above the earth's surface. (ii) If the satellite is stopped suddenly in its orbit and allowed to fall freely onto the earth, find the speed with which it hits the surface of the earth.

If upsilon_(e) is the escape velocity for earth when a projectile is fired from the surface of earth. Then, the escape velocity if the same projectile is fired from its centre is

A satellite is orbiting around the earth in a circular orbit and in this orbit magnitude of its acceleration is a_1 . Now a rocket is fired in the direction of motion of satellite from the satellite due to which its speed instantaneously becomes half of initial, just after the rocket is fired acceleration of satellite has magnitude a_2 . Then the ratio (a_(1))/(a_(2)) is (Assume there is no external force other than the gravitational force of earth before and after the firing of rocket from the satellite)
