To Write:A physics problem for the given equation.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The given equation is:
Here,
The mathematical formula to obtain orbital velocity of a satellite is:
Where, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet and r is the distance of the satellite from the center of the planet.
The physics problem for the given equation can be:
Calculate the orbital radius of satellite revolving about the earth which has an orbital velocity of
To solve this, the mathematical formula or orbital would be used and known values would be substituted. On re-arranging formula, orbital radius of the satellite would be calculated.
