Lots of ways. For example, the momentum of satellite + meteor before the impact, is the same after the impact.
Which country sent the first satellite into orbit in 1957?
The first satellite, Sputnik one, was launched on October 4, 1957 by the Soviet Union.
The type of force that causes a satellite to orbit Earth is a?
Its a centripetal force, whose origin/source is gravitation.
All satellites are man made.True Or False?
False. Only the so-called 'artificial' satellites are man-made. The 'natural' satellites didn't get that name because of the ingredients used to manufacture them. They are called 'natural' because they were created by Nature, not by man. Earth's Moon is an example of a natural satellite, not man-made. There are almost 100 more known examples elsewhere in the Solar System.
What satellite explored earth close up?
i really dont know sorry but other questions just type to me iand will answer it
Where can a person learn about satellites?
The FCC Gov site has a great overview and learning resource for people to learn about satellites. Additionally, one could look on the NASA website which has a wealth of information, and a different perspective.
Why Michelson used octagonal mirror in determining speed of light?
If he had used an ordinary mirror he would only get one reflection per revolution, and since the light travels so fast his motor speed would have to be impossibly high. So he put 8 mirrors on the spindle and the rotational speed then needed to be only 1/8 of that for a single mirror.
How many times will a satellite travel around the world in 1 week?
GSLV wont move with respective to earth
PSLV will be stationary with respective to sun, so it will meet a point on earth 7 times a week
What is the differenceperiod and orbit radius near earth and geostationary satellites?
(Assuming sattelite mass is small enough compared to that of earth so it can be
ignored in the calculations)
Basically, the nearer you are, the faster you have to go.
CALCULATING ORBITAL VELOCITY (v) (radius given)
G = newtons gravitational constant (6.673 * 10-11)
M = mass of earth ( 5.974 * 1024 kg)
r = orbital radius
v = orbital velocity
For any given orbital radius, only one velocity will sustain stable orbit.
(Acceleration due to gravity) = (Acceleration due to centripetal force)
(G*M / r2) = (v2 / r)
For stable orbit velocity, first choose orbital radius.
Rearrange (G*M / r2) = (v2 / r) to isolate v (stable orbit velocity)
v = square root ( (G* M) / r
Example:
The minimum altitude where you will be free of atmosphere gases, and thus air resistance is about 100 km (100 000 metres), from earths centre thats
= 6 471 000 metres
The velocity required to produce stable orbit = square root ((G*M) / r)
= 7849 metres per second (17 558 mph)
Orbital time = ((2*pi*r) / v) seconds
GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT
A 360 degree rotation of the earth ( sidereal day ) takes 23.934 hours
( 86164 seconds), for geostationary orbit only one orbital radius is suitable that will result in equalling this time.
by trial and eror:
example radius (r), calculate v, then: time (seconds) = (2*pi*r) / v
repeat until time = 86164 seconds
works out at approx 42 164 000 metres radius
What are Jupiter big satellites?
Jupiter's 4 major moons, known as the Galilean satellites, are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is an orange moon with an abundance of volcanic activity most likely caused by Jupiter's magnetic field. Europa is a cold, frozen ice moon and is also the smallest of the four. Ganymede is the largest and also is thought to have oceans. Callisto is the outermost moon (of the 4) and is covered with craters.
What are true of a geostationary weather satellite except that it?
Orbiting the Earth above the equator is true of geostationary weather satellites and they have infrared sensors to transmit images of the entire hemisphere continuously. All of those things are true except that while they are moving in orbit they appear motionless.
What is the Difference between PSLV and GSLV?
Both PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) and GSLV are (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) are launch Indian vehicles used to launch satellites into polar orbit and geosyncronous orbits respectively.
The PSLV can launch satellites into sun synchronous orbits i. e. in such a way that an object on that orbit passes over any given point of the Earth's surface at the same local solar time.
The GSLV launch satellites into geostationary orbit. Geostationary orbits cause a satellite to appear stationary with respect to a fixed point on the rotating Earth. That is, if you were standing directly below a geosyncronous satellite it would always be directly above you.
The PSLV is a four-stage launch vehicle with the first stage being solid-propelled, the second liquid-propelled and third solid and the final stage cryogenic liquid. It required parts obtained from Russia.
The GSLV is a three-stage launch vehicle with the first stage being solid-propelled, the second liquid-propelled and the final stage being cryogenically propelled. It was developed by India partly to free itself from dependence on Russia.
What is bytes mega bytes and giga bytes?
bytes, megabytes and Gigabytes are the units for measuring the amout of data on a computer.
1024 megabytes are a gigabyte
What best describes the impact of satellite technology?
Satellite technology increases the speed of global communications A satellite technology increases the speed of global communications
What is a geostationary satellite State two uses of a geostationary satellite?
In order for a satellite to stay in space and not fall to earth, it has to move in orbit round the earth. Many satellites and the International Space Station are in low orbit and at that distance above the earth orbit the earth in a couple of hours or so. However, if the orbit is around 26000 miles up, then at that distance the time it takes for a satellite to freely orbit is exactly one day or 24 hours. This means that the satellite is always above the same spot on earth, as the earth also takes 24 hours to rotate. Thus, if we could see the satellite in the sky it would not move across the sky like the International Space Station but it would stay in the same place in the sky.
This means that they can be used for communication - when you telephone, say, from Europe to the USA then the signals are received by these satellites, amplified and relayed across the world to the receiver of the call. As the satellites are in the same place in the sky all the time, you can call at any time of the night or day. However, if the satellite moved across the sky in low orbit you would only be able to use it when it was in the sky - in other words you could only telephone for a few minutes at a time and then have to wait until it was back in the sky again.
Similarly, these satellites are used for navigation in sat-navs. As the satellite is always in the same point in the sky, it can work out your position at any time of the night or day.
The term 'geostationary' comes from 'geo' meaning 'earth' (as in geo-graphy, geo-thermal etc) and 'stationary' - meaning not moving i.e. the satellite is 'not moving above earth'.
How many kilos of natural gas are in a therm?
1 Therm is 100,000 BTU, and as there are 1000 BTU in 1 cubic foot of gas, 1 Therm = 100 cubic feet. Density of methane = 0.72 kg/cubic meter which is 35.3 cubic feet, so 100 cubic feet = 2.04 kg
How does the international space station get supplies?
They are brought up by other space craft, usually one of the Space Shuttles.
Why is a polar orbit useful for surveying purposes?
it carries the the satellite over the earths north and south poles
Why did Little Richard quit music in 1957 after seeing the Russian satellite Sputnik?
While unknown to many, Russia was actually after celebrities to capture and kidnap during the Cold War. Upon seeing the Sputnik, Little Richard was reminded of this and thought it would be safer to completely end his career and become a nonentity.
Depends on the purpose and functionality of the robot as well as its usage
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
