The largest moon in the solar system is Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter. Ganymede orbits at a distance of 1.07×109 m from the center of Jupiter with an orbital period of about 6.18×105 s. Using this information, find the mass of Jupiter.

A satellite has a mass of 6398 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.41 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is 1.5 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.58 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet’s surface?

Scientists have discovered a distant planet with a mass of 8.2x1023 kg. The planet has a small moon that orbits with a period of 6 hours and 36 minutes. Use only this information (and the value of G) to calculate the radius of the moon's orbit (in units of 106 m).

Scientists have discovered a distant planet with a mass of 6.5x1023 kg. The planet has a small moon that orbits with a period of 5 hours and 15 minutes. Use only this information (and the value of G) to calculate the radius of the moon's orbit (in units of 106 m).

Objects with masses of 220 kg and 410 kg are separated by 0.415 m. A 58.3 kg mass is placed midway between them. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by the two larger masses on the 58.3 kg mass. The value of the universal gravi- tational constant is 6.672 × 10−11 N · m2/kg2. Answer in units of N. Leaving the distance between the 220 kg and the 410 kg masses fixed, at what distance from the 410 kg mass (other than infinitely remote ones) does the 58.3 kg mass experience a net force of zero? Answer in units of m.

A satellite is traveling around a planet in a circular orbit with radius R. It moves in a constant speed of v = 1.02 × 104 m/s. The mass of the planet is M = 5.94 × 1024 kg. The mass of the satellite is m = 4.7 × 103 kg. Enter an expression for the magnitude of the gravitional force F in terms of M,R,m and the gravitional constant G. Enter an expression for the radius in terms of G,M and R. Enter an expression for the gravational potetial energy PE in terms of G,M,m and R. Enter an expresssion for the centripal acceleration of the satellite ac in terms of the speed of the satellite v, and r.

The center of a 1200 kg satellite is 8.7 x 106 m from the center of the earth.  What is the gravitational force of attraction between the satellite and the earth?  (the mass of Earth = 5.97 x 1024 kg

A spacecraft is on a journey between 2 planets. The masses of the Planet A and Planet B are 6.96x1024 kg and 2.08x1022 kg.  The distance between the centers of the planets  is 6.49x108 m.  At what point, as measured from the center of Planet A, does the gravitational force exerted on the craft by Planet A equal 6 times the magnitude of Planet B on the craft?
