Gravitational fields
A planet is discovered to orbit around a star in the galaxy Andromeda, with the same orbital diameter as the Earth around our Sun. If that star has 4 times the mass of our Sun, what will the period of revolution of that new planet be, compared to the Earth's orbital period?
Two moons orbit a planet in nearly circular orbits. Moon A has orbital radius r, and moon B has orbital radius 4r. Moon A takes 20 days to complete one orbit. How long does it take moon B to complete an orbit?
Satellite A has twice the mass of satellite B, and rotates in the same orbit. Compare the two satellite's speeds.
Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the distance between their centers is cut in half, the gravitational force:
A satellite is in a low circular orbit about the Earth (i.e., it just skims the surface of the Earth). How long does it take to make one revolution around the Earth? (The mean radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 106 m.)
