Satellite Motion
![Page 2: Chapter 14 Satellite Motion. Basic Concept of Satellite Motion: A projectile has two components of motion (1) vertical distance d = ½ g t 2 (2) horizontal.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082411/5697bfee1a28abf838cb9ae0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Basic Concept of Satellite Motion:
• A projectile has two components of motion
(1) vertical distance d = ½ g t2
(2) horizontal distance d = v t
If the vertical distance an object falls matches the curvature of the earth, then the object will orbit the earth as a satellite.

The Earth’s curves about 5 meters for every 8000 meters.

Orbits of Satellites (Circular)
• “In circular orbit the speed of a circling satellite is not changed by gravity. We can understand this by comparing a satellite in circular orbit to a bowling ball rolling along a bowling alley. Why doesn’t the gravity that acts on the bowling ball change its speed? The answer is that gravity is pulling neither forward nor backward – it pulls straight downward.” Hewitt, p. 202

Orbits of Satellites
• For satellites close to Earth, the time for a complete orbit is about 90 minutes
• For higher altitude orbits, the orbital speed is less and the period is longer
• The moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. It has a period of 27.3 days

Orbits of Satellites (Eliptical)
• A projectile that travels faster than 8 km/s will overshoot a circular path and trace an oval-shaped path or elipse
• “An elipse is a specific curve: the closed path taken by a point that moves in such a way that the sum of its distances from two fixed points is constant.” (p. 203)

Escape Velocity
• Velocity required to escape the pull of gravity from an object
