Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as
and solving for R, we find that
We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force
or
The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as
where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as
Solving for <em>M</em>, we get
Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get
In the 4.10 seconds that elapsed, Ben reaches a velocity of
In this time, his displacement satisfies
