Question

A 1700 kg communications satellite can revolve around Earth at the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with radius R1 km. If R1= 1120 km and the tangential velocity of the satellite

is v1 =707 km then the angular velocity of the satellite will be w = • If the satellite accelerates for 0.09 min from wo to reach a new value of w = 2.4 rad/s, what would be the angular acceleration of the satellite? a =---------rad/s? • How many revolutions are done by the satellite to reach the new w? 0 =--------rev. • What is the centripetal acceleration of thesatellite when it just reaches the new w? a =m/s?
