Additional Details

Conceptual Physics Alive: Satellite Motion includes a digital video and questions set with answers.

Observe Paul Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork. In this video, the concept of simple projectile motion is extended to include satellite motion—first circular, and then, elliptical. After a discussion of escape speed, the tape concludes with a summary of previously learned concepts in mechanics.

Satellite Motion Includes:

  • Begins with a review of the independence of motion via a demonstration of the ball-shoot apparatus.
  • The effect of the earth's curvature on projectile motion.
  • Cannonball speed to orbit the earth.
  • Cannonball shoot from atop Newton's mountain.
  • Satellite launching.
  • Constancy of speed in circular orbit.
  • Bowling alley analogy to satellite motion.
  • Vector components.
  • Effect of speed on projectile and satellite motion.
  • Effect of earth's rotation on satellite motion.
  • Elliptical orbits.
  • Kepler's misconceptions of satellite motion.
  • Kinetic energy and potential energy of satellite motion.
  • Burning of satellites that encounter air drag.
  • Meteorites.
  • Space shuttle problems and solutions.
  • Internal and external ellipses.
  • Escape speed.
  • Maximum falling speed and escape speed.

Next-Time Questions: Hewitt reviews mechanics in general with a series of questions about a satellite in elliptical orbit. The questions ask for the positions of maximum force, speed, velocity, kinetic and potential energy, total energy, momentum, acceleration, and angular momentum. Equations guide thinking. (SEE RESOURCES TAB FOR MORE)
