The satellite that revolves in polar orbit around the earth is called a______ satellite.

Answer the following :- An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very thin atmosphere loses its energy gradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth ?

A long vertical wire in which a current is flowing produces a neutral point with the earth's magnetic field at a distance of 5 cm from the wire. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic induction is 0.18 gauss, then the current in the wire is

Does the change in magnetic flux always produce induced current?

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular path orbit of radius 42,250 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve around 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 = 6.0Xx10^24 kg , radius = 6400 km.
