Question 1

What is the formula for calculating escape velocity?

  • v = √(GM/r)
  • v_esc = √(2GM/r)
  • v = GM/r^2

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for the formula that includes a square root and double G.

Question 2

True or False: A Hohmann transfer orbit is a method to move from a higher orbit to a lower one only.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what a transfer orbit does.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite needs to transport from a low Earth orbit (radius = 7,000 km) to a geostationary orbit (radius = 42,164 km). Calculate the required Ξ”v for the Hohmann transfer.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula: v = √(GM/r) for velocity.

Question 2

Calculate how much energy is required to launch a satellite of 1000 kg to escape velocity on Earth. Use v_esc = √(2GM/r).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Don't forget to calculate the escape velocity using G, M, and r first.
