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

1. using Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation and some kinematics calculation we can calculate the mass of the planet. For this, use this equation below: ?planet =(9.340×1024)×(vmax)×(Pstar)1/3×(Mstar)2/3 Given: - vmax = 1.5 m/s - Pstar = 3.5 days - Mstar = 1.148 Msun, where Msun = 1.98847×1030 kg. This calculation is not shown.

A day on Splorg lasts the equivalent of 31.7 hours. At the equator, Splorg has a circumference of 54,660 km. It takes a 2 kg mass exactly 0.56 s to fall a distance of 2 m at the surface of Splorg. At what radial distance would you need to orbit a satellite so that it always remained at the same location above the Splorigian equator (i.e. in splorgeosynchronous orbit)? At what velocity does the spacecraft need to reach in order for it to escape the gravity of Splorg.
