Question

state the conditions for various possible orbits of satellite depending upon the horizontal speed of projection​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the rocket it will only go horizontal

Answer 2

There are four possible trajectories of a satellite depending on the speed of projection

critical velocity(Vc) is the minimum velocity required to put the satellite into orbit.let velocity of the satellite be V.

escape velocity of earth is Ve

The conditions for those possible trajectories are:

1. When Vc>V, the satellite will not go into an orbit and will fall back on earth at some point.

2. When V=Vc, the satellite will follow a circular path.

3. When Ve>V>Vc, the satellite will follow an elliptical path.

4. When V>Ve, the satellite will follow a hyperbolic path.
