Concept explainers
The change in the shuttle’s period if the space shuttlegoes into a higher orbit.
Answer to Problem 84A
The time period of the space shuttle will increase.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Period of the satellite orbiting the Earth can be obtained by:
Where,
The time period of a satellite or any space shuttle is directly proportional to the radius of its orbit. Hence, if the radius of the space shuttle’s orbit increases, that is, it goes into a higher orbit, then its time period will also increase.
Conclusion:
Thus, the time period of the space shuttle will increase when it moves to a higher orbit.
