Improved formulae are derived for determining the air density at a specified height above the perigee of a satellite's orbit from the decrease in orbital period, when due allowance is made for atmospheric rotation and oblateness, and the variation of scale height with altitude. The density is ...
Equation (2) can also be used for calculating the escape velocity from the surface of any planet or satellite by putting the corresponding values of g and R. For example, the value of g on the surface of the moon isth of the value on the surface of the earth and the moon’s radius...

There are actually three, Kepler's laws that is, of planetary motion: 1) every planet's orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at a focus; 2) a line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times; and 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to ...
How to convert hours to seconds with a formula In a distant solar system, a giant planet has a small moon moving in a circular orbit of a radius 5.69 x 10^5 km with an orbital period of 74.1 hrs. Find the mass of the planet. You will need G = 6.67 x 10^-11 m^3 /kg/s^2...
Pendulum, body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity. Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks, because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is const
