Which graph represents being in orbit, and how would you calculate the velocity needed to be in orbit? {{youtube>De2TSVsToQE?large}} ---- Part 3: c) How would you calculate the velocity needed to no longer be in orbit? Calculate this value for Earth. {{youtube>gvaDM2QH044?large}} 183_notes/examples/videoswk8.txt Last modified: 2016/08/17 18:50by waterso8
