If the earth's satellite is put into an orbit at a height where resistance due to atmosphere cannot be neglected, how wiil motion of satellite be affected?'

Can a satellite be in an orbit in a plane not passing through the earth's centre? Explain your answer.

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

What is the orbital velocity for a satellite orbiting close to the surface of earth?

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 = 6.0 xx10^24 kg, radius of the earth = 6.4 xx10^6 m, G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2 kg ^-2 .

How does the orbital velocity of a satellite depend on the mass of the satellite?

An artificial satellite is at a height of 36,500 km above earth's surface. What is the work done by earth’s gravitational force in keeping it in its orbit?

An artificial satellite orbiting the' earth does not fall down because the earth’s attraction

Two satellites of equal masses, which can be considered as particles, are orbiting the earth at different heights. Will their moments of inertia be same or different?

Should the speed of two artificial satellites of the earth having different masses but the same orbital radius, be the same?

An artifucial satellite is orbiting around the earth with a speed of 4kms_-1 at a distance of 10^4 km from the earth. Calculate the centripetal acceleration.
