For a satellite to apper satationery to an observer on earth.

A satellite ils launched into a circular orbit 1600km above the surface of the earth. Find the period of revolution if the radius of the earth is R=6400km and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8ms^(-2) . At what height from the ground should it be launched so that it may appear stationary over a point on the earth's equator?

Assertion : Geostationary satellites appear fixed from any point on earth. Reason : The time period of geostationary satellite is 24 hours.

A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of 6R above the surface of earth where R is the radius of the earth .The time period of another satellite at a distance of 3.5R from the Centre of the earth is ….. hours.

A satellite is revolving round the earth at a height (R/2) from surface of earth in circular orbit. The change ini speed required for the satellite to excape to infinity for the satellite to escape to infinity is: [Take R as radius of earth and M as mass of earth]

If the length of the day is T, the height of that TV satellite above the earth's surface which always appears stationary from earth, will be :

The time period of a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth is T . The kinetic energy of the satellite is proportional to T^(-n) . Then, n is equal to :

Assume the radius of the earth to be 6.4xx10^(6)m a. Calculate the time period T of a satellite on equational orbit at 1.4xx10^(e)m above the surface of the earth. b. What is the speed of the satellite in this orbit? c. If the satellite is travelling in the same direction as the rotation of the earth i.e. west to east, what is the interval between two successie times at which it will appear vertically overhead to an observed at a fixed point on the equator?

A geo-stationary satellite orbits around the earth in a circular orbit of radius 36000 km. Then, the time period of a spy satellite orbiting a few hundred kilometers above the earth's surface (R_("Earth") = 6400 " km") will approximately be
