1. Potential energy (people) depends on position or location. How do you think PE changes during the orbit? Where in the orbit is PE the greatest? Where is PE at its minimum value? Explain all answers.

2. We know that kinetic energy (KE) is different parts of the orbit because speed changes during the orbit. Where in the orbit is KE the greatest? Where is KE st its minimum value? Where does the energy come from to increase KE? And where does the energy go when KE decreases? Please explain.

Use screenshot.

Tips General Information This Web App shows the path of an object (indicated by yellow dots plotted at equal time intervals) launched from near Earth. This launched object could be a natural satellite or a spacecraft. Below are specic details and instructions forthis application. Good Luck! . Mass of Earth: M = 5.9736 x1024 kg . Radius of Earth: R0 = 63?1 km or 6.371 X105 m - Launch Paths calculated using the Law of Gravity, F = (G M m ) / R2, and Newton's Second law, F = m a App Information and Ideas for Exploration . Minimum Launch Distance is 6871 km (500 km above the surface) - Recommended Maximum Launch Distance is 50,000 km Distances above 50,000 km mayr (or may not) hang up the system Launch Distance is measured from the center of Earth not from its surface Launch Distances are in kilometers (km) and Launch Speeds are in meters per second (m/s) positions are plotted at equal time intervals period is the time needed for one complete orbit eccentricity = 0.000 for circular orbit eccentricity
