A"synchronous" satellite is put in orbit about a planet to always remain above the same point on the planet’s equator. the planet rotates once every 10.2 h, has a mass of 2.2 × 1027 kg and a radius of 6.99 × 107 m. given: g = 6.67 × 10−11 n m2 /kg2 . calculate how far above the planet’s surface the satellite must be

h = 1.014 x m

Explanation:

Given that,

The planet rotates once every 10.2 h

Therefore, in one hour it would take 1/10.2 rev/h

The rotational speed of the planet

                               = 0.098 rev/h

Converting into seconds

                                = 2.72 x rev/s

Converting to radians, the rotational angular velocity is

                             ω  = 1.709 x rad/s

The mass of the planet, M = 2.2  x Kg

Radius of the planet,      R  = 6.99 x  m

Gravitational constant,   G  = 6.67 x  Nm²/Kg²

To find the height 'h' of the synchronous orbit above the planet surface,

The orbital velocity of the planet is given by the expression

                                      V  =

Since

                                       V  = (R+h)ω

Substituting in the above equation

                                (R+h)ω =

Squaring on both sides

                                {(R+h)ω}² =

                                (R+h)³ =  

Solving for h

                                    h  =    - R

Substituting the values in the above equation

                 h =    m

                                   h  = 1.014 x m

So, the height of the synchronous orbit above the surface is 1.014 x m

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
