Total Velocity Required to Place Satellite in Orbit Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Velocity of Rocket = sqrt(([G.]*Mass Of Earth*(Radius of Earth+2*Height of Satellite))/(Radius of Earth*(Radius of Earth+Height of Satellite)))
V_T = sqrt(([G.]*M_E*(R_E+2*h))/(R_E*(R_E+h)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[G.] - Gravitational constant Value Taken As 6.67408E-11

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Total Velocity of Rocket - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Total Velocity of Rocket is defined as the total velocity required to place a satellite in the fixed circular orbit of earth.
Mass Of Earth - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass Of Earth is equal to 5.972×10^24 kg.
Radius of Earth - (Measured in Meter) - Radius Of earth is equal to 6378.1 km.
Height of Satellite - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Satellite is the distance of launch vehicle from the surface of earth.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Of Earth: 1E+25 Kilogram --> 1E+25 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Radius of Earth: 6378100 Meter --> 6378100 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Satellite: 375000 Meter --> 375000 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_T = sqrt(([G.]*M_E*(R_E+2*h))/(R_E*(R_E+h))) --> sqrt(([G.]*1E+25*(6378100+2*375000))/(6378100*(6378100+375000)))

Evaluating ... ...

V_T = 10509.5795897818

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10509.5795897818 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10509.5795897818 ≈ 10509.58 Meter per Second <-- Total Velocity of Rocket

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
