What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?
Check Your Understanding By what factor must the radius change to reduce the orbital velocity of a satellite by one-half? By what factor would this change the period?
The “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?
An exotic planet Vogsphere is known to have a mass that is 1/81 that of the Earth and a radius 0.25 that of the Earth. Astrophysicist Trillian built a rocket and decided to leave the planet and never to return. Given that the escape speed from the Earth is 11.2 km/s, with what speed must Trillian achieve his goal?

The orbit of Earth around the Sun is almost circular:The closest and farthest distances are 1.47 * 10^8 km and 1.52 * 10^8 kmrespectively. Determine the corresponding variations in (a) totalenergy, (b) gravitational potential energy, (c) kinetic energy, and(d) orbital speed. (Hint: Use conservation of energy and conservationof angular momentum.)
This is a proportional reasoning calculation. You will want to set up equations, but mostly to look at how the orbital distance affects the orbital velocity, or to set up a ratio. (Once you know how it changes you'll have to multiply by the value at the surface to get an answer in m/s.) At the surface of the exoplanet G 9-40 b, the orbital velocity would be 1.21E+4 m/s. What would the orbital velocity be 11 radii above the surface? m/s. Note: If your answer requires scientific notation, remember that OWL uses "e" notation: 1.1 x 105 is 1.1e5 to OWL.
