Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00 × 106 m. One satellite has mass 68.0 kg, orbital radius 7.00 × 107 m, and orbital speed 4800 m/s. The second satellite has mass 84.0 kg and orbital radius 3.00 × 107 m. What is the orbital speed of this second satellite?

Identify the relevant physics principle: The gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force for a satellite in circular orbit. This can be expressed as: F_gravity = F_centripetal.
Write the formula for gravitational force: F_gravity = (G * M * m) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet, m is the mass of the satellite, and r is the orbital radius.
Write the formula for centripetal force: F_centripetal = (m * v^2) / r, where m is the mass of the satellite, v is the orbital speed, and r is the orbital radius.
Set the gravitational force equal to the centripetal force: (G * M * m) / r^2 = (m * v^2) / r. Notice that the mass of the satellite (m) cancels out from both sides of the equation.
Solve for the orbital speed (v) of the second satellite: v = sqrt((G * M) / r). Substitute the given orbital radius of the second satellite into this equation to find its orbital speed.

Gravitational Force and Circular Motion

In circular orbits, the gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force to keep a satellite in orbit. This relationship is expressed as F_gravity = F_centripetal, where F_gravity = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2 and F_centripetal = m * v^2 / r. Understanding this balance is crucial for determining the orbital speed of a satellite.

Orbital Speed Formula

The orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit can be derived from the balance of gravitational and centripetal forces, resulting in v = sqrt(G * M / r), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet, and r is the orbital radius. This formula allows us to calculate the speed needed to maintain a stable orbit at a given radius.

Kepler's Third Law

Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. For circular orbits, this implies that the orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the orbital radius, which helps compare the speeds of satellites at different radii around the same planet.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites without using the mass of Pluto.
