    What is the Magnitude of Attractive Force Between a Satellite and Earth?

    A 1500 kg satellite is orbiting planet earth. The period is 86400 seconds and the radius is 42200000 meters. To determine the magnitude of attractive force... you use equation F=GM(sat)M(Earth)/R2. I know that the mass of Earth is 6.0*10(exp)7 kg and the gravitational constant is 6.67*10(exp...

    Calculating Velocity for Burn Patients on a Rotating Space Station

    i got it..one period equals 2 pi and the lenth of arc s/r equals the circumference of the station...thanks for your help

    Calculating Velocity for Burn Patients on a Rotating Space Station

    velocity is 14m/s and one period is 2pi...therefore the period is equal to 87.9 seconds

    Calculating Velocity for Burn Patients on a Rotating Space Station

    which gives you a velocity of 14 m/s. however, that does not help you find the period using centripetal accelaration

    Calculating Velocity for Burn Patients on a Rotating Space Station

    well, velocity is m/s. if i solve this equation i get v2=.0049/s2, which is no good!

    Calculating Velocity for Burn Patients on a Rotating Space Station

    consider a rotating doughnut shaped space station used to treat burn patients. the patients are located on the outer perimeter of the station at a distance of 200 meters from the axis of rotation. calculate the period of rotation that would produce a radial acceleration equal to 1/10 the...
