The Physics of a satellite is the same as Newton's Laws for the earth.

GM = rv2 = r3 w2 where M is the central mass the satellite is orbiting and r is the raadius and w the orbiting rate.

What is meant by INTELSAT in physics?

INTELSAT stands for International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, which is a global communications satellite system that was established in 1964. INTELSAT satellites provide communication services, such as telephone, television, and data transmission, across the world.


Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?

That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.


Does earth's gravity do any work on satellite revolving around it?

NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)

How does the linear momentum of the satellite before the explosion compare with the total linear momentum of all the pieces after the explosion. The satellite exploded far from any other body in space?

It's the same after explosion. This is because an explosion is an internal force on the satellite. In physics, an internal force on an object does not affect its motion. The center of mass of the object will continue to move as if no explosion occured. Watch a fireworks show, and you can kind of visualize this.

How do scientist use physics?

Scientist use physics for all sorts of things. Scientist can use Newtons and other gravity-related laws to work out the trajectory of a crashing satellite. If scientist wanted to, he could look use molecular physics to predict how chemicals will react. Scientist is a pretty cool guy.

Is all satellite considered live satellite?

A "live satellite" is something that is being shown "live" from a satellite, such as images from space, or views of the Earth from a satellite in outer space. TV programs you watch on satellite is not considered "live satellite".
