Describe your approach to calculating the velocity of a satellite in an orbit of radius R around the Earth. Select as many options as you think are appropriate. a. Use Newton's second law. O b. Use Kepler's second law. ☐ c. Use Newton's law of universal gravitation. d. Use Kepler's first law.
Keplers third law may be obtained from the gravitational force law equated to Newtons 2nd law and replacing the acceleraion by that of a centripetal type. The speed may then replaced by the circumference over the period. We ovatain the ratio of (distance)3 and (Period)2 How does this method outlined above express or represent keplers third law? The escape velocity may be obtained by converting all the gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. This is a factor of sqrt(2) larger than the orbital speed. Was the approach valid? Justify the obtained relationship.
A 1kg block ball was hurled at horizontal speed 10m/s from building with a height of 20m while it was falling the ball was divided into consecutive halves X and Y ( without any external force )and then hit each part X and Y the ground at the same time at the point 10m and R horizontally from the building in order (see figure below ) suppose gravitational acceleration 10m/s2 . What is the distance R (suppose there is no resistance to air ) ?

Centripetal force: the inward force that keeps an object moving in a circle. If the centripetal force were removed, the object would fly away from the circle in a straight line that starts from a point tangent to the circle 1. What will happen to an object moving in a circle if the centripetal force was removed ? The formula for centripetal acceleration (a) is: 2. How is centripetal acceleration related to centripetal force ? From Newton's second Law F= ma, the equation 3. Which measurements/variables affect the size of the centripetal acceleration and the centripetal force? Highlight the key points in the text that will answer this question. F. for centripetal force is therefore: = ma = m =mass in kilograms (Kg), V= the speed in meters per second (m/s) r=radius in meters (m).
