- A car of mass 1800 kilograms passes over a hill that has an arc with a radius of 42 meters. If the car is moving with a speed of 16 meters / second at the top of the hill, what g-force does the car experience?Yes or No? Is it possible to have two satellites are in circular orbit around the Earth at the same orbital radius, but with different orbital speeds (in m/s)?A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.9 x 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.3 x 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 x 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed = m/s
