A near-Earth orbit (NEO) is a circular orbit at a height above the surface of the Earth that is very small compared to the radius of the Earth. On a NEO the acceleration due to gravity is essentially the same as that on the Earth’s surface. Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the Earth in a circular NEO. Does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?
In recent years, scientists have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Some of these planets are in orbits that are similar to that of earth, which orbits the sun (Msun = 1.99 x 1030 kg) at a distance of 1.50 x 1011 m, called 1 astronomical unit (1 au). Others have extreme orbits that are much different from anything in our solar system. The problem relates to some of these planets that follow circular orbits around other stars. WASP-32b orbits with a period of only 2.7 days a star with a mass that is 1.1 times that of the sun. How many au from the star is this planet?

In recent years, scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets (planets orbiting stars other than the Sun). Some are in orbits similar to that of Earth, which revolves around the Sun (Msun = 1.99 × 1030 kg) at a distance of 1.50 × 1011 m — a distance defined as 1 astronomical unit (AU). Others have extreme orbits that are very different from anything in our solar system. For example, the exoplanet Kepler-42c circles its star at a distance of 0.0058 AU. Its star is small, having only 0.13 times the mass of the Sun. How long is Kepler-42c’s period of revolution? How does this value compare to Earth’s period of 365 days?
