A spinning donut-shaped space station can create a kind of artificial gravity. One proposed use for such a space station is as a hospital for severely burned individuals. It is very painful for a badly burned person on Earth to lie in bed. In a space station like the one shown above, the effect of gravity can be reduced or even eliminated. How many seconds should each complete rotation of this space hospital take for patients to experience 1/3 of Earth's gravity? The patients would be on the inside surface of the station's outermost wall and the diameter of this donut-shaped hospital is planned to be 0.350 km. Hint: be careful with your units. 42.5 s

Can someone help me?? With all the steps thank you.
An 800 kg satellite orbits Earth and take one day for complete orbit. Earth has a radiu 6,372 km and a mass of 5.972 x 10^24. A. If the radius of orbit is constant, find the altitude of the satellite above Earth's surface. B. Find the orbital speed of the satellite C. The satellite suddenly turns off, stops moving and heads straight towards the surface of Earth. At what speed will the satellite crash into the Earth's surface? (Hint: Use energy conservation)
You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.50×107 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.50×1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 13.1m/s2. What is the mass of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units. What is the mass of the star? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
