Q1: A satellite 5tonnes in circular orbit that just clears Earth's highest mountain, Mt. Everest,
29028 feet above sea level or 8850 meters. Adding this distance to the radius of the Earth, 6370
km, we would need an orbital radius of 6.38 x 106 meters. ( /30)

1) Calculate the weight of the sattalite.

2) Calculate the value of the satellite speed.

3) How long will it take the satellite to orbit the earth?

Q2: a) Determine the weight of a 60 kg rock when on Earth's surface.


Mearth= 5.98 x 1024 Kg , Rearth= 6.36 x 106 m ( /10)

(b) Determine the weight of the rock when 1460 km above the surface of Earth. ( /10)

Q3: A spaceship approaches a space station at a relative speed of 0.050 𝑐. The space station emits a
navigation signal of frequency 2.80 𝑀𝐻𝑧 towards the spaceship. Calculate the frequency of the signal
received by the spaceship. ( /10)

Q4: The frequency of light reaching Earth from a distant galaxy is 2.6% lower than the frequency of a
corresponding stationary source. ( /20)

a. Calculate the relative speed of the galaxy. State whether the galaxy is approaching or moving
away from the Earth?

b. A stationary source emits a spectral line of wavelength 623 nm. Calculate the wavelength of the
same line observed in the light from the galaxy.

Q5: A stationary siren emits sound of frequency 650 Hz. The speed of sound is 350 m/s. ( /20)

a. A cyclist is moving towards the siren with a constant speed of 15 m/s. calculate the frequency
heard by the cyclist.

b. Passengers of a car moving away from the siren hear a frequency of 610 Hz. Calculate the speed of
the car.
