In the movie "Gravity" the astronauts were supposed to repair the space telescope Hubble orbiting the Earth at the altitude of 558km above the Earth's survace but have failed because of the space debris. What terminal velocity of the shuttle is required to reach the telescope? The Earth's radius is close to 6400km. Mass of the Earth is 6*1024 kg.

The is a planet orbiting the sun. Its mass is 9.3 x 10^22kg and it is traveling in a circular orbit at 9.5km/s. The suns mass is 1.982 x 10^31 kg. How far is the planet from the sun?
"Spock decides to measure the gravitational acceleration on the surface of hishome planet, Vulcan. He does so by swinging a rock at the end of a massless cord in a vertical circle. In order to complete the full circle, Spock finds that the rock needs a minimum speed of 3.0 m/s at the top of the circle. If the radius of the circle is 1.0 m, what is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of Vulcan?" Im not sure which equation to use?
A 76kg satellite orbits a distant planet with a radius of 4300km and a period of 280 min. From the radius and period, you calculate the satellite's acceleration to be 0.60m/s^2. What is the gravitational force on the satellite?
The asteroid Vesta has a mass of 2.6 x 1020 kg and a radius of about 270 km. What is the circular orbit velocity at its surface?
