To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,
Where,
m = Mass of spacecraft
M = Mass of Earth
r = Radius (Orbit)
G = Gravitational Universal Music
v = Velocity
Re-arrange to find the velocity
PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,
From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so
Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.
PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is
Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

I think is between A&B
I think I would answer B
Answer:
4.44s
Explanation:
A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cables for the swing is 4.9 m, how long does it take for each complete back-and-forth swing? Assume that the child and swing set are very small compared to the length of the cables
since the mass of the child and that of the swing is negligible, the masses wont be involved in the calculation
T=2π√L/g
g=acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2
the length of the supporting cable is 4.9m
T the period
period is the time required to make a complete oscillation
T=2*π√4.9/9.81
T=2*π*0.706
T=4.44s
4.44s
