Flashcardshow does the escape velocity change for an object on an isolated planet and on a planet which is not isolated
gravitational force exists between two planets and the planet would attract the object so the escape velocity is less
what is meant by a geostationary orbit
period of 24 hours
equatorial orbit
travels from west to east

how does the escape velocity change for an object on an isolated planet and on a planet which is not isolated
gravitational force exists between two planets and the planet would attract the object so the escape velocity is less
what is meant by a geostationary orbit
period of 24 hours
equatorial orbit
travels from west to east
why is gravitational potential always negative
all forces are attractive
work done by masses in bringing them together
how does the energy required to launch a satellite from earth change if the earth’s orbit is geostationary or not?
smaller change in velocity if the satellite travels in the same direction as the earth’s orbit
