a planet of mass M has a satellite of mass m, located a distance d away, attracted by a force F.

b) if the distance to the satellite is cut in half while M and m remain unchanged, by what factor will F change. c) if the mass of the satellite and the planet are both doubled while distance apart is quadrupled, by what factor will F change. d) if the planet has a million times the mass of the satellite, by what factor is the force of the planet on the satellite greater than the satellite on the planet.

7. Two satellites are moving around Earth following orbits of the same radius. Satellite 1 has mass equal to half of mass of satellite 2. We can conclude that: Speed of satellite 1 is twice as big as speed of satellite 2. Speed of satellite 1 is half of speed of satellite 2. Speed of satellite 1 is the same as speed of satellite 2. Speed of satellite 1 in fours times speed of satellite 2. Speed of satellite 1...

Stationary planets “A” and “B”, each with mass 1024 kg, are located 106 m away from each other in the horizontal direction (x). Space capsule “C” with a mass of 1000 kg starts at rest 106 m from both “A” and “B”, so the three objects form an equilateral triangle. Assume that “A” and “B” have a fixed position and cannot move, while “C” is able to move freely. What is the net gravitational force vector on “C” at time...
