A satellite is orbiting round the earth at a height h above the surface of the earth. If the distance h is increased, the time period of satellite will

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.

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 ?

Choose the correct alternative:- The energy required to launch an orbiting satellite out of earth’s gravitational influence is more//less than the energy required to project a stationary object at the same height (as the satellite) out of earth’s influence.

Why the motion of a satellite around a planet cannot be taken as S.H.M?

A satellite is launched into a circular orbit 1600 km above the surface of the earth. Find the period of revolution, the radius of the earth R = 6400 km and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m//sec^2 .
