Man Made Satellite

Physics

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Satellites movement

Move in orbits at specific heights and linear speed

Example of satellites

MEASAT

Formulae used to determine the linear speed of satellites

Centripetal force formula and Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation

Centripetal force on satellite

Radius of orbit,r

r = R+h

Linear speed of satellite

Linear speed of satellite in a stable orbit

Stable orbit

Centripetal acceleration of the satellite is the same as gravitational acceleration

Geostationary satellite

In the Geostationary Earth Orbit

Non-geostationary satellite

Normally in a lower or higher orbit than the Geostationary Earth Orbit
