Physics

The physics ofsatellite motion around Jupiter.
A 155 kg satellite is placed in orbit 6.00 x 105 m abovethe surface of Jupiter. The tangential speed of the satellite is3.99 x 104 m/s. Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 x1027 kg and a radius of 7.14 x 107 m.

  1. Determine the radius of motionof the satellite.
  2. Calculate the centripetalforce acting on the satellite to maintain its orbit.
  3. What is the cause of thiscentripetal force?
  4. In what direction is thecentripetal force always acting?
