If the orbit of a rocket is a circle around the earth with a radius = 8 x 106m, and the mass of the earth is 5.97 x 1024 kg while
that of the rocket is 0.5 x 106 kg, then what is the speed of the
rocket under uniform circular motion (in m/s, G = 6.67 * 10-11 N
(m/kg) ?)?

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
