Question 1
What is the formula for circular orbital speed?
- v_circ = G*M/r
- v_circ = G*r/M
- v_circ = M/r^2
💡 Hint: Think of how gravity acts on the orbiting body.
Question 2
True or False: The period of an orbit increases as the distance of the orbit increases.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider how distance relates to time in natural settings.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Calculate the gravitational force exerted by Earth on a satellite of mass 1000 kg orbiting at a height of 400 km above the surface of the Earth. Use G = 6.674 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2, R_E = 6.371 x 10^6 m.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert the height into the same units as Earth's radius.
Question 2
A planet has twice the mass of Earth but the same radius. How would the orbital speed change for a satellite orbiting this planet at the same radius as Earth's orbit?
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between mass and gravitational influence.
