This topic is apart of the HSC Physics syllabus Module 5: Advanced Mechanics.
Learn to investigate the orbital motion of planets and artificial satellites when applying the relationships between the following quantities:
- Orbital Velocity
The formula for the orbital period is the following:
v=\sqrt{\frac{GM_1}{r}}Â- G is the gravitational constant
- M is the mass of the planet
- r is the radius
- v is the orbital velocity
