In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, the parameter “delta v”, could I use “delta v”as “v” in the equation v=sqrt(GM/r) or are they different. For example if a satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit with a “delta v” of 2km/s, could I use the 2km/s to calculate the radius of orbit? Thanks

Analysis of the spectrum of a solar–mass star shows a periodic back-and-forth shift of its spectral lines with a period of 3 days. A spectral line centred at wavelength λ0 = 500 nm shows a shift ∆λ = ±2.5 × 10−4 nm. Estimate the mass of the unseen orbiting companion by assuming the angle of inclination i = 90◦, and express your answer in Jupiter masses.
Determine the minimum velocity(m/s) necessary to orbit freely about a planet or moon at an altitude of 3 meter above the planet surface if the planet mass and radius are 4.38E25 kg and 3090 km, respectively.
You can determine the radius of a planet by measuring the change in the flux coming from the star (i.e. the transit method). If the radius of the planet increases, the overall flux decreases, but what happens to the change in the flux Group of answer choices Increases Decreases Stays constant
What fraction of the energy emitted from the sun is absorbed by the Earth? Treat the sun like a light bulb 93 million miles away. Also, assume the Earth only absorbs the energy associated with an area of approximately 50 million square miles. (This is roughly the area of a disc with the same radius as the Earth.)
An asteroid closely passes the Earth at a range of 17200 mi and relative speed of 7.8 km/s. The diameter is estimated at 30 m with a specific gravity of 3. If this asteroid had impacted Earth, how much energy would have been released? Express this quantity in units of mega- tons (Mton) where a megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive. A metric ton is 1000 kg and the explosive energy density of TNT is 4184 J/g. Hint: If the asteroid hits the Earth, its relative velocity becomes zero. Ignore any change in asteroid velocity due to gravitational acceleration or air resistance.
Describe what you notice about the values for the total energy for planets in orbit, and obtain why this might be the case
