Two satellites of the same mass are in circular orbits of differentradii above the Earth's equator. Satellite A is in a geosynchronousorbit, that is, the period of its orbit is 24 hours. Satellite B isin an orbit with one-quarter the orbital radius of that ofsatellite A.
What is the ratio aB/aA of the centripetal accelerations of thesatellites?
What is the ratio vB/vA of the satellites' speeds?
How long does it take satellite B to complete one revolution?
what is the ratio of the satellites angular momenta?
what is the ratio of the satellites' mechanical energies?
