What is the total orbital energy of this satellite? Extra energy to put it into parabolic orbit?
A communications satellite of mass 700 kg is placed in a circular orbit of radius 4.23 X 10^7m around the Earth.
A) What is the total orbital energy of this satellite?
B) How much extra enegry would we have to give this satellite to put it into parabolic orbit that permits it to escape to infinite distance [...]

A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.60 104 m/s, and the radius of the orbit is 5.40 106 m. A second satellite also has a circular orbit around this same planet. The orbit of this second satellite has a radius of 8.80 [...]
Physics Problem Satellites in Circular Orbits: What is the orbital speed of the second satellite?
A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.70 X 10(to the 4th power) m/s, and the radius of the orbit is 5.25 X 10(to the 6th power) m. A second satellite also has a circular speed around this same planet. The orbit of this second [...]
