Find the speed of an orbiter in a circular orbit that is just above the surface of a planet, given that the orbiter's acceleration is equal to the planets gravitational acceleration of 1.85 m/s^2. The radius of the planet is 1.54*10^6 m.
Solution)
We know, acceleration,.a= v^2/r
So, v= root aR
V= root (1.85* 1.54*10^6) = 2.84 * 10^6 m/s (Ans)

A 507 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 754 km above a planet’s surface. This planet is similar to our Earth. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually is brought to the Earth’s surface, and it hits the Earth with a speed of 3 km/s. The radius of the planet is 7 × 106 m and its mass is 8 × 1024 kg. The gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2. How much...
