13-125. A satellite is launched with an initial velocity
Chapter 13, Problem 13-125(choose chapter or problem)
13-125. A satellite is launched with an initial velocity Vo = 2500 mi/h parallel to the surface of the earth. Determine the required altitude (or range of altitudes) above the earths surface for launching if the free-flight trajectory is to be (a) circular, (b) parabolic, (c) elliptical, and (d) hyperbolic. Take G = 34.4(10 9)(lb ft2)/slug-, Me = 409(I021) slug, the earth's radius re = 3960 mi. and 1 mi = 5280 ft.
