Consider two satellites A and B orbiting around earth in uniform
circular motion.
• The acceleration of satellite A is 16 times that of satellite
B.
• The period of satellite B is 4 times the period of satellite
A.
Using the concept of Fg as Fc, and the corresponding equations
for orbital period, calculate the ratio of the radius of the motion
of satellite A to that of satellite B (rA/rB = ?).

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...
