Weather satellites are used for transmitting the pictures of cloud pattern for weather forecasting. Return to Text 6.5 Satellite system of the earth (SB p. 227)

15 © Manhattan Press (H.K.) Ltd. Launching a satellite (a) Normally, we use a two-stage rocket to (i) raise a satellite to the desired height, and (ii) give the satellite the correct speed and direction by the launching rocket. (b) At lift off, the rocket with spacecraft on top is held down by clamps on the launching pad for a few seconds until the exhaust gases have built up an upward thrust which exceeds the rocket’s weight. The rocket rises vertically initially and after this is gradually tilted by the guidance system. The first- stage rocket lifts the spacecraft with the second- stage rocket to the desired height, then separates and falls back to the earth. 6.5 Satellite system of the earth (SB p. 229)

16 © Manhattan Press (H.K.) Ltd. Launching a satellite (cont’d) (c) The spacecraft with the second-stage rocket casts in free flight to its orbital height where it is momentarily moving horizontally. The second-stage rocket then fires and increases the speed to that required for a circular orbit at the height. Then the spacecraft is separated from the second-stage rocket with the launching speed required. 6.5 Satellite system of the earth (SB p. 229) Return to Text

Q: Q:Two widely-separated planetary systems, whose suns of masses S 1 and S 2, planet P 1 of mass M 1 and planet P 2 of mass M 2 are observed to have circular orbits of equal radii. What are the relationship between S 1 and S 2 if P 1 completes one orbit in half the time taken by P 2 ? Solution 6.5 Satellite system of the earth (SB p. 231)

23 © Manhattan Press (H.K.) Ltd. Loss in total energy of satellite If the total energy of the satellite reduces, the radius of orbit (r) decreases. However, the kinetic energy of the satellite increases because the increase in the gravitational force by the earth (F = ) accelerates the satellite towards the earth. Hence, the satellite moves faster. 6.5 Satellite system of the earth (SB p. 235) Return to Text

24 © Manhattan Press (H.K.) Ltd. Q: Q: A body of mass m is released from rest at a height h above the earth’s surface of mass M E and radius R E. (a) (i) Derive an expression for the speed (v) with which the body will strike the earth’s surface in terms of h, M E, R E, and the gravitational constant (G). (ii) Hence, estimate the speed with which a meteorite will strike the earth’s surface. (b) (i) If h is small compared to R E, derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy (U) of the body when it is at a height (h) above the earth in terms of m, h, M E, R E, and G. (Neglecting terms in h/R E of powers greater than one) (ii) If the gravitational potential energy of the body is redefined as V = mg o h where g o is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface, express U in terms of V.
