Each group needs a A) Spinner B) Counter C) Recorder D) Timer ; any extra people in the group can quietly help to be sure that the counter is being accurate and that the spinner is keeping the angle of the string at 45 degrees. 2) The spinner ties the mass on to the string. 3) The spinner measures out one meter exactly of string and hangs the mass from the string. 4) The spinner holds the protractor vertically so the string is in the right spot to measure out an angle when the mass is spun in a circle. 5) The counter, recorder, and timer check to see that the spinner is holding the protractor vertical so that the angle can be accurately kept at 45 degrees while spinning. 6) The counter tells the spinner to spin until the string is at a 45 degree angle. 7) The counter counts out loud “One, Two, Three, Mark”. 8) The timer starts the stop watch when they hear the word “Mark “. 9) The counter counts out loud the number or revolutions. 10) The timer yells out the time when the counter counts the spinner going around ten revolutions. 11) The recorder writes down the time for 10 revolutions at the radius measured. 12) The spinner increases the radius by 0.05 meters and steps 5 through 12 in the procedure are repeated until a radius of 2 meters is reached. Materials: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 3 meters of string One 250 g mass One giant protractor Stop Watch Calculator A computer for writing up the Lab Report.

Does it go in a straight line? Is it increasing or decreasing? Does it curve up or down? Does it go through the origin? Does it have a y intercept? Does it have a x intercept? Is the slope positive or negative (everywhere?)? Is the graph smooth or are the points sporadic , erratic, and not seem to follow a rule? 2) If you had to guess, what type of function does your data look like? Does it look like any of these functions? (from: http://ceadserv1.nku.edu/longa//classes/mat119/days/functionzoo.jpg) Source: http://www.pinterest.com/swilson01/school-ideas/ My data looks like a _________________________________________function. 3) Draw a trend line through your data for the function that you think works best for your data. Do this on your graph. Use the trend line in a spread sheet program. 4) Using your trend line, estimate what the velocity would be at a radius of 1.6 meters would be? According to my trend line, at r = 1.6 meters, the velocity would be ______________________m/s 5) Using your trend line, estimate what the radius would be for a mass with a velocity of 0.5 m/s. For a mass with a velocity of 0.5 m/s, the radius should be ____________________________meters 6) Write an equation for the Velocity (V) of the mass as a function of the radius (r). V(r) = ________________________ (this should be just like f(x) is a function of x, except this is the velocity as a function of r.) 7) The last page of this lab shows a some calculations taken from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit That show the relationship of the radius of revolution (r), the planet mass (M), and the rate of rotation for the planet(ω). Use the equations to find the calculated values for the altitude of a satellite (r), and the velocity (v) of a satellite in geosynchronous orbit. 3 𝑟=√ 𝐺𝑀 3 (6.67 ∗ 10−11 )(𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ 𝑔𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒) =√ = _______________________𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝜔2 (𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒)2 𝑣 = 𝜔𝑟 = (𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒) ∗ (𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒) 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 = _______________ 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 M is the mass of Earth, M = 5.9736 × 1024 kg 𝜔 is the earth’s rotation rate, 𝜔 = 2𝜋 𝑅𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝜏 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑠 2𝜋 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 = 86,164 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑠 = 7.29 ∗ 10−5 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑠/𝑠𝑒𝑐 8) Do these values for V and r that you found above fit your equation that you found for the Velocity (V) as a function of the radius (r)? Tell why your answer makes sense. What value do you get when you plug the value of r above into the equation you derived from your graph for v.

Or asking the same question another way; what is different about these two situations that causs such a difference in the proportionality of velocity V and radius r? 9) For your mass revolving at a 45 degree angle to the vertical, could you keep the same period of rotation and increase the radius of rotation? Yes or no and explain why or why not. ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 10) Final concluding remarks: Tell what went right, what went wrong, if you were to do it again what would you change, and what did you learn. i.

Derivation of geostationary altitude In any circular orbit, the centripetal force required to maintain the orbit (Fc) is provided by the gravitational force on the satellite (Fg). To calculate the geostationary orbit altitude, one begins with this equivalence: By Newton's second law of motion,[15] we can replace the forces F with the mass m of the object multiplied by the acceleration felt by the object due to that force: We note that the mass of the satellite m appears on both sides — geostationary orbit is independent of the mass of the satellite.[c] So calculating the altitude simplifies into calculating the point where the magnitudes of the centripetal acceleration required for orbital motion and the gravitational acceleration provided by Earth's gravity are equal. The centripetal acceleration's magnitude is: where ω is the angular speed, and r is the orbital radius as measured from the Earth's center of mass. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is: where M is the mass of Earth, 5.9736 × 1024 kg, and G is the gravitational constant, 6.67428 ± 0.00067 × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2. Equating the two accelerations gives: The product GM is known with much greater precision than either factor alone; it is known as the geocentric gravitational constant μ = 398,600.4418 ± 0.0008 km3 s−2: The angular speed ω is found by dividing the angle travelled in one revolution (360° = 2π rad) by the orbital period (the time it takes to make one full revolution). In the case of a geostationary orbit, the orbital period is one sidereal day, or 86,164.09054 seconds).[16] This gives: The resulting orbital radius is 42,164 kilometres (26,199 mi). Subtracting the Earth's equatorial radius, 6,378 kilometres (3,963 mi), gives the altitude of 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi). Orbital speed (how fast the satellite is moving through space) is calculated by multiplying the angular speed by the orbital radius: By the same formula we can find the geostationary-type orbit of an object in relation to Mars (this type of orbit above is referred to as an areostationary orbit if it is above Mars). The geocentric gravitational constant GM (which is μ) for Mars has the value of 42,828 km3s−2, and the known rotational period (T) of Mars is 88,642.66 seconds. Since ω = 2π/T, using the formula above, the value of ω is found to be approx 7.088218×10−5 s−1. Thus, r3 = 8.5243×1012 km3, whose cube root is 20,427 km; subtracting the equatorial radius of Mars (3396.2 km) we have 17,031 km. Derivation of the proportionality relationship between the velocity and the altitude r of a satellite going around the earth. ∑ 𝐹⃗ = 𝑚𝑎⃗ Using Newton’s 2nd Law In this case the only force on the body is the force of gravity and the acceleration of the body is centripetal. 𝐹𝐺 = 𝐹𝐶 Where 𝐹𝐺 is the force of gravity on the satellite and 𝐹𝐶 is the centripetal force.
