Evidence for Exceeding Expectations

Orbital radius, R

Orbital radius squared, R²

Orbital radius cubed, R³

Square root of orbital radius, √R

$$R$$  

$$R^2$$  

$$\frac{1}{R}$$  

$$\frac{1}{R^2}$$  

g

acceleration due to gravity on Earth

M

mass of big object

m

mass of small object

v

velocity

$$g=GM_{Earth}$$  

$$g=\frac{GM_{Earth}}{R_{Earth}}$$  

$$g=\frac{GM_{Earth}}{R_{Earth}^2}$$  

$$g=\frac{GM_{Earth}^2}{R_{Earth}}$$  

Newton's Law of Gravitation $$F_G=\frac{GMm}{R^2}$$  

Newton's 3rd Law $$F_{1\rightarrow2}=-F_{2\rightarrow1}$$  

Circular Motion $$F_C=m\frac{v^2}{r}$$  

Orbital Velocity $$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$$
