Question

1. A 1000 kg satellite orbits the earth with a speed of 9997 m/sm/s. What is the radius of the orbit?

You are given the equation used to solve a problem:
(6.67×10−11Nm2/kg2)(5.98×1024kg)(1000kg)/r2=(1000kg)(9997m/s)2/r

b. The figure(Figure 1) shows two planets of mass m orbiting a star of mass M. The planets are in the same orbit, with radius r, but are always at opposite ends of a diameter.

- Find an exact expression for the orbital period T. Hint: Each planet feels two forces.

Express your answer in terms of M, m, r, and G.

You are given the equation used to solve a problem:
(6.67 × 10-¹1 Nm²/kg²)(5.98 × 10²4 kg) (1000 kg)
p2
(1000 kg) (9997 m 1/s)²
