Problem 13.47 In 2000, NASA placed a satellite in orbit around an asteroid. Consider a spherical asteroid with a mass of 1.20×1016 kg and a radius of 8.90 km . Part A What is the speed of a satellite orbiting 5.50 km above the surface? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part B What is the escape speed from the asteroid? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
NASA put the 487 kg satellite "NEAR Shoemaker" in orbit around the asteroid "433 Eros" in February 2000. You need to figure out how to do the same thing for a different asteroid that has a mass of 2.10×1019 kg and a radius of 127 km. What speed would a 596 kg mass satellite have if it is in a 202 km radius circular orbit around this asteroid?
A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 4600 km above the surface of a nonrotating asteroid with an orbital speed of 11.8 km/s. The minimum speed needed to escape from the surface of the asteroid is 29.2 km/s. The mass of the asteroid is closest to Question 6 (1 point) A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 4600 km above the surface of a nonrotating asteroid with an orbital speed of 11.8 km/s.

Question 6 (1 point) A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 4600 km above the surface of a nonrotating asteroid with an orbital speed of 11.8 km/s. The minimum speed needed to escape from the surface of the asteroid is 29.2 km/s. The mass of the asteroid is closest to O 1.78 * 1024 kg. O 3.56 * 1024 kg. O2.86 x 1025 kg. O 1.43 x 1025 kg. 8.90 x 1023 kg.
NASA sent a satellite to a circular orbit around Mars. The period of the orbit is 107 minutes. Mass of Mars = 6.42 x 1023 kg Radius of Mars = 3.39 x 106 m What is the acceleration due to Mar's gravity at this orbital location? m/s2

12. A 500 kg NASA weather satellite is positioned in orbit directly above the USA at a height of 150 km above the Earth's surface. The mass of the Earth is 6 X 1024 kg and its radius is 6,4 X 10° m. What is che gravitational force that keeps the satellite in this position?
