Question

A satellite of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius r.
Calculate its angular momentum with respect to the centre of the orbit in terms of the mass of earth???.​

Answer 1

Here is your answer

mass= m

velocity=v

radius=r

IT IS SAID THAT THE CENTRE OF THE ORBIT IS THE TERM OF THE MASS OF THE EARTH

Radius of the earth = 6.4×10^6m

Mass of the earth = 6× 10^24KG

angular momentum (L) = Mass × Velocity ×Radius

= M×V×R

=6×10^24×V ×6.4×10^6

=384×10^29×V

(10^29=1000000000000000000000000000000)

THEREFORE THE THE ANGULAR MASS OF THE SATELLITE IS 384×10^29×V kg/metre
