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
In January 2006 astronomers reported the discovery of a planet, comparable in size to the earth, orbiting another star and having a mass about 5.5 times the earth’s mass. It is believed to consist of a mixture of rock and ice, similar to Neptune. If this planet has the same density as Neptune 11.76 g>cm32, what is its radius expressed (a) in kilometers and (b) as a multiple of earth’s radius?

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? Hint: the change in a quantity is represented by the uppercase delta or triangle symbol.

What fractional decrease in flux, δF/F, would be caused by an Earth-like planet transiting a Sun-like star?
