Technically, a satellite in free-fall (and orbit is a special case of "free-fall") is effectively weightless. What we call weight is the force of the RESISTANCE to gravity; I "weigh" 220 pounds because I an standing on the Earth.
The satellite has its own mass, and this can be anything from "tiny" to "enormous".
What else can I help you with?
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
How does the mass of a satellite affect its orbit?
The mass of a satellite does not affect its orbit. The orbit of a satellite is determined by its speed and the gravitational pull of the object it is orbiting around, such as a planet. The mass of the satellite itself does not play a significant role in determining its orbit.
12. A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the Earth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of?
If a satellite is placed in an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the Earth's radius (i.e., at a height equal to the Earth's radius), its weight would be reduced due to the inverse square law of gravitation. The gravitational force acting on the satellite at this distance is one-fourth of that on the surface, meaning it would weigh 25% of its weight at the Earth's surface. Hence, if its weight at the surface is ( W ), at this orbit it would weigh ( \frac{W}{4} ).
The circumference of the orbit of a satellite is 260400km the satellite is travelling at 10850km how long does the satellite take to complete one orbit?
24 hours
What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
Who was first to invented the satellite?
The very first satellite put into orbit was the Russian satellite Sputnik put into orbit on October 4th, 1957.
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
Does the Archimedes principle hold in a satellite moving in a circular orbit?
Yes, the Archimedes principle applies in a satellite moving in a circular orbit. The principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In the case of a satellite in orbit, the principle still holds as the satellite is displacing the atmosphere and experiences a reduced weight due to its orbital motion.
What are the satellite planets?
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
What is The plane of a satellite's orbit must intersect?
The plane of a satellite's orbit must include the center of the earth.
What year did a satellite go into orbit around venus?
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
