1. DCI Earth and the Solar System If Newton's first law states that an object will travel in a straight line unless impacted by an outside force, why do satellites orbit Earth in a circular manner? 2. SEP Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking a. According to the orbital velocity equation, for a satellite to orbit at a higher velocity, what must happen? b. How is the period of a satellite related to its orbital velocity? What does this mean? c. Can you use the arbital velocity equation for other planets? Explain your answer. 3. CCC Scale. Proportion, and Quantity Which satellite would have the farthest orbit? a. a satellite above Jupiter in geosynchronous orbit b, a satelite orbiting Jupiter once every 24 Earth hours c. a GPS satellite above Jupiter orbiting once every 12 Earth hour d. a satellite orbiting Jupiter once every & Earth hours 36 Investigation 3 Gravitational Forces CS CamScanner Skills Practice 4. NASA's Aqua satellite orbits Earth every 99 minutes. Calculate how far above Earth's surface Aqua's orbit must be. 5. The average weather satellite orbits Earth about once every 23.93 hours. Calculate the radius of such an orbit
