A satellite revolve in radius R has a time period of revolutionT. Find time period of a satellite if orbital radius is 9R?

A rocket is intended to leave the Earth's gravitational field. The fuel in tis main engine is a little less than the amount that is necessary and an auxiliary engine, (only capable of operating for a short time) has to be used as well. When is it best to switch on the auxiliary engine?

The planets with radii \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) have densities \(ρ_1\) and \(ρ_2\). Their atmospheric pressures are \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) respectively. Therefore, the ratio of masses of their atmosphere, neglecting variation of \(g\) within the limits of atmosphere is:
