Problem 6: Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9 x 106 m. One satellite
has mass 68.0 kg, orbital radius 7 x 107 m, and orbital speed 4800 m/sec. The second satellite has mass
84.0 kg and orbital radius 3 × 107 m. What is the orbital speed of this second satellite?
Answer: 7332.1 m/sec.
Problem 7: Planets Beyond the Solar System. On October 15, 2001, a planet was discovered orbiting
around the star HD 68988. Its orbital distance was measured to be 1.05 × 1010 m from the center of the
star, and its orbital period was estimated at 6.3 days = 5.44 × 105 sec . What is the mass of HD 68988?
Express your answer in kilograms and in terms of our sun's mass (Msun =1.99 × 1030 kg)
