When objects are in orbit what forces hold it there?

In orbit, the force of gravity between the object and the celestial body it is orbiting keeps the object in orbit. This force creates a centripetal acceleration that balances the object's inertia, causing it to stay in a stable orbit.


How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?

As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.


What is the force that causes the earth to orbit the sun?

GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.


A 124 kg satellite experiences a gravitational force by the Earth of 690 N what is the radius of the satellite's orbit in kilometers?

F= G (m1m2)/(r2) F= the gravitational force G= gravitational constant m1= mass of the first object (the satellite) m2= mass of the second object (earth) r= the radius Plug in the values and solve for r: 690 N= 6.67 X 10-11 ((124kg) X (5.98 X 1024)/(r2) 690r2= 6.67 X10-11 (7.41 X 1026) 690r2= 4.94 X 1016 r2= (4.94 X 1016)/(690) r= square root of (7.16 x 1013) r= 8.46 x 106 m, or 846,000 Km


How do you launch a satellite into space so it will go to Mars?

To launch a satellite to Mars, you would need to use a rocket to propel it out of Earth's orbit toward Mars. The satellite would need to follow a precise trajectory to intercept Mars's orbit at the right time. This would require careful planning and calculations for the satellite's speed and direction.

What is the use of rocket to launch a satellite?

Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.


What is station keeping of satellite?

Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.

How do you give velocity for the satellite which rotates in the orbit with what energy it will travel?

You give velocity to a satellite through rockets. The rockets use some powerful fuel - for example, a mix of hydrogen and oxygen - to push them into orbit.


Why you use orbit raising procedure to move to other planets or satellite rather than moving straight?

It is basically used to save fuel, using the planet's gravitational force as a slingshot to gain speed.


Why is orbit important use of the satellite?

The orbit of a satellite is determined based on the functions that the satellite needs to perform. A communications satellite.s purpose is to make communications easier. If it were in a very low orbit, the satellite would pass quickly overhead and you would only have a couple of moments to talk. A photo satellite needs to have a low orbit, to be close enough to take good pictures. Photo satellites are often in polar orbits to allow them to cover the entire globe rather than the same parts over and over again.


How do artificial satellites get fuel?

Many satellites contain propellant tanks used for repositioning the satellite. They also use solar arrays to collect energy from the sun. When the satellite runs out of fuel it is said to have reached its end of life and will either burn up in the earths atmosphere or will be put in another orbit, such as super synchronous orbit. This allows a replacement satellite to be launched and put in the same orbit but prevents over population of that particular orbit.

What kind of energy transformations occur in a satellite?

In a satellite, electrical energy is transformed into kinetic energy during launch, allowing the satellite to reach its desired orbit. Once in orbit, solar panels on the satellite convert solar energy into electrical energy to power its systems. Additionally, some satellites use radioisotope thermoelectric generators to convert heat energy into electrical energy.
