For a satellite orbiting around an asteroid, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the asteroid:
where
m is the satellite's mass
v is the speed
R is the radius of the asteroide
h is the altitude of the satellite
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the asteroid
Solving the equation for v, we find
where:
Substituting into the formula,
B) 11.47 m/s
The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by
where:
Substituting into the formula, we find:
