This book is a bit dodgy as it doesn't include all the formulas. I'm stuck on a couple of questions so I would appreciate any help.
Q49) The space station Mir had a mass of 130 tonnes. It operated in a near circular orbit at altitude 480 km. Its centripetal force is 1.10 x 10^6 N. Calculate its acceleration due to gravity.
Q51) A satellite is put in circular orbit at an altitude of 856 km. Calculate its period in hours.
Q52) A weather observation satellite of mass 1150 kg is put into circular orbit. It circles the Earth exactly 9 times each day. Calculate its (a) orbital radius (b) altitude.
When you answer please include the formulas. Thanks in advance!:wave:
