Q: A satellite circles a planet with a tangential velocity of 1.70 x 104 m/s. The orbital radius ( r1 ) is 5.25 x 106 m. A second satellite of equal mass revolves around the same planet with an orbital radius ( r2 ) of 8.60 x 106 m. What is the orbital speed ofContinue reading “FORCE AND ACCELERATION: Relative Velocity of Satellites in Orbit”
