Question

l. I. Ca ubr a satellite = (circular) orbit around Jupster In class we showed that we could find an orbit that has LOWER energy than the energy we start with at the surface of the Earth. Does his ??at we couldtravel to Jupiter without expending any NET energy. Explain 2. Draw the energy diagram (energy (y-axis, distance 1 x-axis) that describes this voyage Include any relevant points on the graph and state the physical conditions that occur at those points (Hint there are 3) 3. Because of the atmosphere, the orbet of a satellite near the sarface of the Earth eventually will decay As the satellhte slowly spirals toward the groand, explain what as happening to its kinetic energy, its gravitational potential energy, and its total mechanical energy. Use physics principles to justify your answers

Explanation / Answer

1] No, Energy will still be required because to move from Earth the potential energy will be higher when it moves away from Earth. To overcome that higher potential energy, energy will still be required.
