I Review i Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00 × 10° m. One satellite has mass 68.0 kg, orbital radius 6.00x107 m, and orbital speed 4800 m/s. The second satellite has mass 84.0 kg and orbital radius 5.00x107 m. Part A What is the orbital speed of this second satellite?

You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 679 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal, that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity? Express your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm). 0.120 rpm 81.6 rpm 0.459 rpm 1.148 rpm
Assume that we have a distant Star-Planet system with no other planets and the Star is the same as the Sun and the planet is the same as the Earth. This is called an "Earth analog system or "Earth twin". The masses and the orbits are the same except you can assume a perfectly circular orbit. A) Calculate the equation for the orbital velocity of a planet on a circular orbit. To do this use the equation for average speed: distance=rate x time. In a circular orbit, the speed is always the same, so you can use a time that is one full orbital period (1 year). What is the distance that a planet on a circular orbit travels in this time? Calculate the speed of the Earth twin in meters/second. Mass of the sun: 2 x 1030 kg. Mass of the Earth: 5.97 x 1024kg (Note: I think I understand how to use the distance= rate x time, but I'm not sure what to input for rate in this situation. I am also not sure how to calculate the speed of the Earth twin)
An intergalactic spaceship arrives at a distant planet that rotates on its axis with a period of T = 31 hours. The mass of the planet is M = 2.1 • 1025 kg. The spaceship enters a circular orbit with an orbital period that is equal to the planet's period for the rotation about its axis, T. a. Enter an expression for the radius of the spaceship’s orbit. b. Calculate the orbital radius in meters.
You're out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 1426 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor due to artificial gravity.

13. A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h₁. After the bottom of this hill there is a small "jump" hill. The top of the jump has height h, and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, himin, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or "catches air" at the top of hill 2? Solve for himin in terms of h₂, R, and g. Hint: if the skier/snowboarder jumps, he/she/they loose contact with the snowy ground. h₁ to jump!

3. A satellite is launched from the surface of the earth at the initial speed of 8 km/s. How high will it go before it stops and starts falling back to the earth?
You are on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at the equator traveling in a hydrofoil going at a constant speed of 300 ?/?. The water is perfectly still. What is your acceleration: a) If you're heading due North? b) If you're heading due East? c) If you're heading straight up (something probably went wrong at this point). Assume the following: The earth has a radius of 6371 km. The earth makes one full revolution every 24 hours. The gravitational constant at sea level is 9.81 m/s2. East and North are relative to the Earth's axial north, not magnetic north.
