How far could you kick a dog?
From a table, medium kick.

Dog in orbit!
The dog is now in orbit! (assuming no air resistance of course)

Dog in orbit!
The dog is falling towards the earth, but never gets there!

Dogs in orbit!
The force that keeps an object moving in a circle is called the centripetal force (here provided by gravity)

Uniform Circular Motion
Remember we have already looked at circular motion
Centripetal force = mv2/r
velocity
Centripetal acceleration = v2/r

For orbital motion, the centripetal force is provided by gravity

Period of orbit
v2 = GMe/r
Distance travelled in one orbit = 2πr
Speed = distance/time = 2πr/T

Period of orbit

This is known as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion.

Energy of a satellite
A satellite has kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
Total energy = ½mv2 - GMm/r
v2 = GM/r so Ek = GMm/2r
Total energy = GMm/2r – GMm/r = -GMm/2r
Total energy = -½mv2

Weightlessness
Consider an astronaut in a space ship orbiting the earth

Weightlessness
Remember both the ship and astronaut are falling towards the earth (centripetal acceleration)

acceleration = v2/r
Weightlessness
Because they are both falling together, the astronaut feels no reaction force from the floor of the space craft so she feels “weightless” (you get a small feeling of this as a lift (elevator) starts to descend).

Weightlessness
There is a mathematical way to look at this.

Weightlessness
The forces on the astronaut are gravity from the earth (GMm/r2) and the normal reaction force (N) of the floor of the spacecraft.
The net force must be equal to mv2/r if he is in orbit.
GMm/r2 – N = mv2/r

Weightlessness
GMm/r2 – N = mv2/r
N = GMm/r2 – mv2/r
N = (m/r)(GM/r – v2)
since v2 = GM/r, N = zero

Weightlessness
So there is a force of gravity on the astronaut, but no reaction force from the floor so the astronaut feels weightless.
