    Satellite moving in a stable circular orbit

    Haha, yeah I'm really sorry about that. To be honest, I'm not really sure of the units on anything except the initial numbers. That said for the gravitational force I multiplied NM^2/kg^2 by kg by kg divided by km, whatever that comes out to. I guess the acceleration would be m/s^2. Is it...

    Satellite moving in a stable circular orbit

    I just need help for the velocity part. I have a final on this tomorrow, can someone please help me find the error in my calculation? Thanks.

    Satellite moving in a stable circular orbit

    I've been working on this question for a couple hours now and I can't seem to get a different answer. Is it possible that the answer given in the study guide is incorrect?

    Satellite moving in a stable circular orbit

    Homework Statement A 600kg satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth at a height of 4000km (G=6.67x10^-11 NM^2/kg^2, Re=6380km, Me=5.98x10^24kg). Calculate the speed of the satellite at that height. Calculate the orbital period (T), the time for one revolution Calculate...

    Net force on roof from wind? Using Bernoulli's eq?

    Thank you so much for your help. from bernoulli's I get to .5(d)(v1sqrd)=P2-P1. Once I plug in my numbers: .5(1.293)(576)=372.384. Then multiplied by the area: 372.384(300)= 111715.2 N/msqrd. For some reason the study sheet has the answer as 108000 N/msqrd, but maybe this could just be...

    Net force on roof from wind? Using Bernoulli's eq?

    Homework Statement If wind blows at 24 m/s over your house, what is the net force on the roof if its area is 300 m squared? Homework Equations Bernoulli's equation? P1+1/2pv1sqrd+pgy1=P2+1/2pv2sqrd+pgy2 The Attempt at a Solution Really didn't know where to go with this. I...
