C the one with smaller mass.
Two artificial satellites are of same mass moving around the earth.
The following statements refer to man made artificial satellites in orbit around earth.
This is to match the rotation of the earth so that the satellite appears to stay above the same point above the earth s surface.
B cannot overtake a by increasing its speed.
Two satellites a b are in the same orbit around the earth b being behind a.
Two debris fields are shown.
Two satellites a and b of the same mass are going around earth in concentric orbits.
It s the same d.
What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on b compared to that acting on a.
As time period of different satellites are equal so r will be same for both satellites.
The centripetal force is whatever force is causing the centripetal acceleration.
The distance of satellite b from earth s center is twice that of satellite a.
D the one with the large mass.
What is the ratio of the centripetal force acting on b to that acting on a.
Which is an accurate statement.
The distance of satellite b from earth s center is twice that of satellite a.
Around geostationary space and low earth orbit.
Two satellites of mass m1 and m2 m1 m2 are revolving around the earth in orbits of radii r1 and r2 r1 r2 with velocities v1 and v2 respectively in this case 1 v1 v2.
Time for one orbit is 24 hours.
Two satellites a and b of the same mass are going around earth in concentric orbits.
It will then go into a different orbit.
One satellite is twice as massive as the other.
Which of the two will be moving more slowly in its orbit.
However the presence of satellites in eccentric orbits allows for collisions at up to 4 km s.
Two satellites orbit the earth in circular orbits of the same radius.
If the mass of the earth was quadrupled and nothing else was changed.
Geostationary orbit geo 36 000 km above the earth.
Space debris at geostationary orbits typically has a lower collision speed than at leo since all geo satellites orbit in the same plane altitude and speed.
