Based on the calculations, the speed required for this satellite to stay in orbit is equal to 1.8 × 10³ m/s.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m/kg²
- Mass of Moon = 7.36 × 10²² kg
- Distance, r = 4.2 × 10⁶ m.
<h3>How to determine the speed of this satellite?</h3>
In order to determine the speed of this satellite to stay in orbit, the centripetal force acting on it must be sufficient to change its direction.
This ultimately implies that, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force as shown below:
Fc = Fg
mv²/r = GmM/r²
<u>Where:</u>
- m is the mass of the satellite.
Making v the subject of formula, we have;
v = √(GM/r)
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
v = √(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 7.36 × 10²²/4.2 × 10⁶)
v = √(1,168,838.095)
v = 1,081.13 m/s.
Speed, v = 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

Answer:
Final velocity = 7.677 m/s
KE before crash = 202300 J
KE after crash = 182,702.62 J
Explanation:
We are given;
m1 = 1400 kg
m2 = 4700 kg
u1 = 17 m/s
u2 = 0 m/s
Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;
m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v
Where v is final velocity after collision.
Plugging in the relevant values;
(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v
23800 = 3100v
v = 23800/3100
v = 7.677 m/s
Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J
Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J
<h3><u>Effects of the earths orbit around the sun:</u></h3>
The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, Johannes Kepler, a "German mathematician, and astronomer" described this elliptical orbit first. The orbit is close to being a circle but not a circle. Earth orbiting the sun mainly effects on seasons on earth.
Earth's four seasons are determined when Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on the vertical axis, which is called as “axial tilt”. When a "southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun", it experiences summer and northern hemisphere experiences winter, exactly opposite happens when northern hemisphere tilts towards Sun and this climate change goes on in all countries.
