What isthe relation between the escape velocity and orbital velocity of a satellite, if the satellite is close to the earth’s surface?
|
|
Vo = 2√Ve
|
|
|
Ve = √ 2 Vo
|
|
|
Ve = 2√Vo
|
|
|
Vo = √2Vo
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the relation between escape and orbital velocity is v e = 2 v o .
Detailed explanation-2: -The circular satellite velocity needed to orbit Earth’s surface is 8 kilometres per second, and the escape speed from our planet is 11 kilometres per second.
Detailed explanation-3: -Near the surface of the Earth, if air resistance could be disregarded, orbital velocity would be about eight kilometres (five miles) per second.
