If the radius of Mercury is ~2,440 km, what is the required tangential orbital velocity needed to maintain a 100 kg satellite 1,500 km from the planet’s surface? (The mass of Mercury is Mm = 3.3 x 1023 kg)
An object of mass mm is launched from a planet of mass M and radius R.
Calculate this minimum launch speed (called the escape speed), in meters per second, for a planet of mass M=5.38×1023kg and R=83.2×103km.

- Kepler’s third law says that the orbital period (in years) is proportional to the square root of the cube of the mean distance (in AU) from the Sun (Pa1.5) . For mean distances from 0.1 to 32 AU, calculate and plot a curve showing the expected Keplerian period. For each planet in our solar system, look up the mean distance from the Sun in AU and the orbital period in years and overplot these data on the theoretical Keplerian curve.arrow_forwardA satellite in the shape of a sphere of mass 20,000 kg and radius 5.0 m is spinning about an axis through its center of mass.
