Don't I at least need the velocity. I mean I can see myself deriving everything with slightly more information, but with absolutely nothing given to me, I'm stunned.

I really have been putting in a ton of effort into this question folks. I spent 30min of the hour and a half it took me to do all of my physics on this one question. Please, any detailed help would be greatly appreciated

I am still having a lot of trouble figuring this particular question out.

Homework Statement How far above the surface of the moon should a satellite be placed so that it is stationary with respect tot the moons surface. Radius of moon = 1737.4 kilometers mass of moon = 7.36 x 10^22 kilograms Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10^ -11 N x m^2/kg6@ Homework...

Boy was I over thinking that. Thanks a lot for the clarification

so, 5.33 m/s^2 would be the answer for part A and for part B i just multiply the acceleration by the mass?

Homework Statement A ferris wheel at a carnival has a radius of 12 m and turns so that the speed of the riders is 8m/s a) what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the riders? b) what is the magnitude of the net force required to produce this centripetal acceleration for a...
