Hi people, could someone please help with these:
On 19th June 1981, an experimental meterological satellite of mass m=700kg, was placed in a geostationary orbit using the launch vehicle Ariane.
Calculate:
i. The radius of the geostationary orbit given that the period of revolution of the satellite is 23h 56m.
ii. The linear speed of such a satellite.
iii.The energy required to move the satellite from the surface of the Earth into the geostationary orbit.
Thanks a lot
