Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates.
these are called geosynchronous orbits. the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58×107m(≈22,000miles).
part a
what is the period of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
part b
find the value of g at this altitude.
part c
what is the weight of a 2000 kg satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
