T= Circumference of the earth
Speed/Velocity
.. a =
R
r
Where R = radius of the earth taken as 6.3
above the surface of the earth, g = accelera
acceleration du
velocity of the satellite.

y2 v2
= Ma
5) The velocity of light is 3x108m/s. How long does it take a
reach the earth from the sun, which is 1.5x10 m away?
The radius of the moon is (3.65) of the radius of the earth
the acceleration due to gravity of the moon is of that one
earth's surface. Calculate the mass of the moon. (Ans
7.46x1022kg)
Calculate the escape velocity of a satellite from the earth's surface
(G = 6.7x10-11Nm?kg-?, mass of the earth = 6x1024kg and i the
earth's radius = 6.4x10ºm)
A centripetal force of 1N is used to keep a 0.1kg yoyo moving in
horizontal circle of radius 0.7m. What is the yoyo's velocity?
