    The first part of this video helped me understand an extra credit question in my Geog605 class, remote sensing of the environment. We were asked how many times a certain satellite would orbit the earth in a day and we were only give the satellite altitude, earth's mass and radius, and the gravitational constant. The essential piece of missing info was the equation for the distance of a circular path.
    One question though, how did you translate your velocity value into m/s?

    while on a circular orbit if the velocity of the object is increased then it will go further away but a new balance can be achieved only if distance decrease. (Higher velocity means higher centrifugal force and it can be balanced only by a higher gravitational force which will happen only if distance decrease) in reality an elliptical orbit is created. how do you explain this by the above simple physics?

      Forces only do work if they have some vector component along the path of motion. This path of motion is the circular orbit, the force is the centripetal force directed towards the center of the Earth. These are perpendicular, so gravity does no work. It's a similar story for charged particles moving in a mass spectrometer, if you've seen that.

    • @rye-bread5236
      @rye-bread5236 6 років тому

      if the earth is inside the system it cannot do work. hence 0. If it is outside the system like external forces. it does work.
      my prof has us set it up like so
      work= change in energy
      work= PE + KE ...
      on the left is external forces that create work (b0th pos. and neg. work has to be parallel though. Work that is perpendicular is 0. Torque is when there are perpendicular force and distance )
      on the right is internal energies, Gravitational potential and kinetic. If 0 work that means the internal forces are equal and opposite (for this scenario)
      Hope this helps.
