An interesting motion of Earth’s natural satellite called moon is it is a geosynchronous satellite. The geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital motion is synchronized with the rotation of Earth. In this way the geosynchronous satellite is always over the same point on the equator as the earth turns. This satellite is very useful for world communication, weather observations, and military use. a. From the center of the Earth to the moon, what should the orbital radius of such satellite be in order to stay over the same point on the earth’s surface?

b. What is the moon’s distance from the Earth’s surface? You can utilize the constants and other values found in the module. G = 6.674x10-11 Nm2/kg2 T = 24hrs = 86,400s mE = 5.997x1024kg RE = 6.38x106m

During the apollo moon missions, astronauts were concerned about the effects of newton's third law of motion when: o a. they ejected waste water, because they were concerned that it would push them off course. o b. they reentered earth's atmosphere, because they were carrying heavy moon rocks. o c. they took off from earth, because a large force was required to generate large acceleration. o d. they detected incoming space debris, because the inertia of the debris could damage their ship.
