    Uniform circular motion with unknown mass

    Oh, so just find the centripetal force of the first one, find out what it is and equate it to the centripetal force of the satellite with the unknown velocity? I guess I made it a lot harder than I thought, thanks a lot.

    Uniform circular motion with unknown mass

    The only force would be the gravitational force of the unknown planet. But there's no information about the planet, only that a satellite rotates around it, so I'm assuming there's a formula that I need to derive where a mass needs to cancel?

    Uniform circular motion with unknown mass

    Homework Statement A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.7x10^4 m/s and the radius is 5.25x10^6 meters. A second satellite also has a circular orbit around the same planet and has an orbit radius of 8.6x10^6 meters. What is the orbital...
