Resumen del Recurso
P5a - Satellites, Gravity and Circular motion
satellites
an objects that orbits a larger object in space
natural, e.g. the Moon orbits Earth
artificial, e.g. have been put in space by humans
kept in orbit by gravitational force
Gravity: universal force of attraction between masses - keeps planets orbiting the Sun and satellites orbiting the Earth
centripetal force
the force that acts towards the centre of a circle that keeps an object moving in a circle
gravity provides the centripetal force to keep a satellite in orbit
gravitational force between 2 objects gets weaker as they get further apart.
planets further away from the sun experience a lower gravitational force and have a longer orbital period.
different orbits
low polar orbit satellites
used to look at Earth's surface
have to be low enough and orbit over the poles so they can see Earth segment by segment
each orbit = about 100 minutes
uses: imaging Earth's surface; weather forecasting; military uses - spying
geostationary satellites
each orbit = 24 hours
remain in a fixed position above Earth at all times
orbit much higher above Earth
uses: communications; satellite TV; weather forecasting
artificial satellites
can orbit at different heights above Earth's surface
orbital period is longer if the satellite is at a higher position above Earth
comets
orbit the sun in an elliptical loop
when close to the sun, it has to travel fast to escape the gravitational force BUT when far away, it travels slowly as the sun's gravity pulls it back
